Usage considerations
Examples
Many TGAL commands take effect on a page boundary. These commands are, ALT,
BOTTOMMARGIN, FOOT, HEAD, LINENO, OUTLEN, PAGELEN, POFF SECT, SEQ,
TOPMARGIN, and UPSHIFT. If the command appears before the first line of text on a
page, the command takes effect on that page. After TGAL formats the first line of text,
the command then takes effect on the next page unless you turn the command off. If
one of the above commands follows a SPACE command, it will not take effect until the
next page. For additional usage examples of TGAL commands, look in Section 3,
