Modifications

Modifications are sets of form definition controls that apply to one page of a data file. With these controls, you can:

• Define the type of duplex printing to be done
• Define one, two, three, or four partitions for N_UP
• Select an overlay
• Suppress the appearance of a field
• Select the forms flash option (for the 3800 printer only)
• Specify the number of copies for a set of modifications
• Specify post-printing processing options

You can specify different sets of modifications for the same page of data in one form definition, and therefore in one print job, by a series of SUBGROUP commands. For example, a form definition with two SUBGROUP commands is said to have two sets of modifications. The same page of data is printed for each set of modifications, resulting in a slightly different output for each printing.
