PGL Programmer's Reference Manual

Chapter 1 The IGP/PGL Emulation

Execute Form Mode

The Execute Form Mode prints forms created in the Create Form Mode.

Execute Form Mode commands are summarized in Table 3 and fully

described on the referenced pages. Carriage Return, Form Feed, and Line

Feed commands also operate in the Execute Form Mode. The EXECUTE

Form command

must

be entered in UPPERCASE, and a single line spacing

or a line containing overlay data must separate an EXECUTE command from

a NORMAL command.

NOTE: Some systems pad the data stream with characters and spaces. If the

IGP file on your system contains padded characters or spaces before

the SFCC, this data must be ignored before the IGP can operate. The

Ignore Sequence (IGON/IGOFF) command, discussed on page 70, is

provided for this purpose. At times you may also need the IGP to

ignore host-originated paper movement commands (carriage return,

line feed, form feed, etc.) in lengthy data streams. Select Format

(SFON/SFOFF) discussed on page 83 is provided for this purpose. In

addition, the Quiet command, page 80, can be used to pass data

unchanged to the printer.
