  • A SETUNITS command can be placed before any other PPFA command. The values set are in effect until the next SETUNITS command.
  • LAYOUT, XLAYOUT, and PRINTLINE commands cannot be mixed within the same PAGEDEF. At least one LAYOUT command is required per page format for a record formatting page definition.
  • At least one FONTor DOFONT command is required for each PAGEDEF command.
  • FONT and DOFONT commands must be specified immediately after a PAGEDEF command.
  • The first PAGEFORMAT command can be omitted in a page definition, if the page definition contains only one page format. If the PAGEFORMAT command is omitted, the PAGEDEF command parameters are used to define the page format.
  • SEGMENT, OVERLAY and EXTREF commands must be specified under their associated PAGEFORMAT command. EXTREF must be before the first LAYOUT command.
  • One file can contain multiple sets of page definitions.
