LEVEL STYLE Options
The LEVEL STYLE commands control the style in which TFORM prints
section headings.
LEVEL STYLE int
LEVEL STYLE int defines the style in which you want TFORM to
print the section title for a level int section. You must enter either
the LEFT, CENTER, or RIGHT modifier.
LEVEL STYLE int LEFT
The LEFT modifier tells TFORM to print the section title left-
justified.
LEVEL STYLE int CENTER
The CENTER modifier tells TFORM to print the section title
centered on the page.
TFORM has a special centering feature built in for a LEVEL 0 head,
with certain conditions the current line length and the length of
the first line of the title is even, and the length of the second line of
the title is odd (or the reverse—odd, then even). As a special
feature, TFORM adds a required blank space to the end of the
second line. This addition causes the second line to move to the left
by one character when it is centered, thus aligning with the line
above it. Note, however, that the required blank space does not
appear in titles in the table of contents or in the section title
variable, SYS_LEVEL0_TITLE.
If you are using a 5530 printer, the title will not shift to the left by
an entire character width because of the micro spacing capability of
that printer. However, since TFORM always adds a required blank
character under the conditions described above, a LEVEL 0 title
printed on a 5530 is shifted slightly to the left, aligning with the
first line.
