TFORMCVT: Converting From TGAL to TFORM
E-22 11387 Tandem Computers Incorporated
HEAD Command
\HEAD " text "
The TFORMCVT output is:
\HEADER 1; HEADER 1 "|| text "
\HEAD " text " TODAY or HEAD " text " \\ TODAY
The TFORMCVT output is:
\HEADER 1; HEADER 1 "|| text \\(SYS_DATE\\)"
Tips
TFORMCVT ignores a trigger character preceding the TODAY option.
The first occurrence of the TODAY option causes TFORMCVT to
precede the TFORM HEADER command with a call to the macro
TODAY (if the TODAY macro has not been invoked previously). This
is done to initialize the system variable SYS_DATE.
When ALT is turned on or off, the header is updated accordingly. See
the ALT command translation description for details.
If a trigger character occurs in the text string, it appears as four triggers
in the TFORM string to ensure that TFORM accepts the character
properly.
