element(s) will repeat horizontally. Enter a value

ranging from 1 through 512.

offset#

Specifies the horizontal offset to establish the

horizontal spacing between each duplication of the

form element(s) specified in the body of the

command. Enter a value in terms of dot or

character columns based on the Scale command

(page 82), or use the CP.DP format (page 26). The

offset is from starting column to starting column.

duplication. A single HDUP command can define

different types of elements for duplication.
