Warning Messages Warning messages describe conditions less severe than those named in
error messages. If you want TFORM to print warning messages, you must
use the SET command to set WARNINGS ON. By default, TFORM does
not print them. The TFORM warning messages are as follows:
WARNING - BIN CANNOT BE SELECTED FOR THIS PRINTER
The output device is not a 5530 letter-quality printer and therefore doesn’t
have a cut-sheet feeder with the capability of feeding from either of two
bins.
WARNING - BOLD, SHADOW, OR UNDERSCORE NOT ENDED WITHIN FIELD
A rendition control escape sequence in a title field had no closing \)
characters. TFORM shuts off the boldface, shadow, or underscore printing
at the end of the field, but issues this warning to call attention to the
improperly ended escape sequence.
WARNING - INTERLINE SPACING MUST BE A WHOLE NUMBER FOR THIS PRINTER
Printers other than the 5530 letter-quality printer can’t do half-line spacing.
WARNING - MINIMUM TOP MARGIN OF 1/2 INCH FOR THIS PRINTER
Printers other than the 5530 letter-quality printer have the paper aligned at
a fixed position for perforation skip, which puts the first print line at least
1/2 inch down from the top perforation.
