Tips
TFORM has no equivalent command to the TAG command; instead,
TFORMCVT issues a call to a TFORM macro called TAG.
In TGAL, footers are stacked; that is, if the third FOOT command (for
example) contains no text, TGAL uses the text specified in the second
FOOT command. If the fourth FOOT command also has no text, TGAL
recalls the text from the first command. TFORM does not stack footers
and TFORMCVT provides no substitution for this TGAL feature.
In TGAL, when ALT is ON and TAG is in effect, the tag characters
appear on the same side as the page number. In TFORM, the tag
characters always appear on the right side of the page.
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.
