Form-size Parameters
XMSIZE x {units} [YMSIZE y {units}];
A form definition is a resource that contains all the controls relating to the physical sheet. A FORMDEF command must be specified when you define a new form definition. When subcommands (except for the REPLACE, PRESENT, and DIRECTION subcommands) are specified, they become the defaults for all COPYGROUP commands nested within this form definition.
- FORMDEF
- Identifies the form definition to be used with the print job.
- name
- Defines an alphanumeric name of 1–6 characters for the form definition. When you create a form definition, PPFA assigns a prefix of F1 to the name you specify. F1nnnnnn is the external resource name in the form-definition library.
