Subcommands

HEIGHT Subcommand
HEIGHT 10 POINTS | HEIGHT n [POINTS | IN | CM | MM | PELS]
Specifies the height of a Data Object font.
n
A number specifying the height of the Data Object font. This number can be up to 3 decimal places.
Note: If HEIGHT is not specified the default is 10 points.
units
One of the following standard units:
POINTS
Each point is equivalent to 1/72 of an inch (default)
IN
Inches
CM
Centimeters
MM
Millimeters
PELS
Pels in the current Logical Units per inch; for example, in 240ths of an inch
RATIO Subcommand
RATIO percent
Specifies the ratio of scaling the width relative to the height in a font.
percent
Represents the percent of the normal width of the character that is printed. For example, RATIO 50 yields a font with characters half as wide as normal.
ROTATION Subcommand
{ROTATION [0 | 90 | 180 | 270]
Specifies the rotation of characters in degrees. The specified value is relative to the inline direction of the line to be printed. Valid rotations are 0, 90, 180, and 270. Zero is the default.
PRELOAD Subcommand
PRELOAD
To preload the font before starting the print job, specify this subcommand. Preloaded fonts enhance print performance. The printer must support this function.
UDType Subcommand
[UDType of the PAGEDEF |  
UDType {EBCDIC [CP {'T1V10500' | code-page-name}] |
EBCDIC2 CP code-page-name |
ASCII [CP {'T1000819' | code-page-name}] 
UTF8 | UTF16}]
The UDType subcommand specifies the user's data type and, optionally, the code page name for mapping the font.

If UDType is not coded on the DOFONT command it defaults to the coded or default UDType of the page definition.

    Note:
  1. Using a code page with a UDType specifies the code page used by the application to create the data.
  2. To use multiple font mappings for a line in ASCII, UTF8, or UTF16 you must use the FIELD command, since automatic font switching for single and double byte text is only done for EBCDIC data.

EBCDIC
Single byte EBCDIC.
CP
Code Page name. This parameter is optional here and, if not coded, the default is single byte EBCDIC code page T1V10500.
code-page-name
Enter a quoted or unquoted string for the code page name. If the string is unquoted it can be up to 6 characters. The string will be folded to upper case and the two-character prefix T1 is added. If the string is quoted, it can be up to 8 characters, will retain the case, and no prefix is added.
EBCDIC2
Double byte EBCDIC.
CP
Code Page name. This parameter is mandatory.
code-page-name
Enter a quoted or unquoted string for the code page name. If the string is unquoted it can be up to 6 characters. The string is folded to upper case and the two character
