CHANGES Command Use the CHANGES command to tell TGAL to print only those pages which have a
footing. The footing can be produced with the FOOT command or with the TAG and
VERSION commands.
The syntax of the CHANGES command is:
CHANGES
Considerations
You usually use this command when you run TGAL rather than putting this
command into your EDIT file.
The CHANGES command does not compare pages, so it does not know if the
change marked with the FOOT or TAG command has extended across a page. For
example, if you insert a paragraph and flag the paragraph with the TAG
command, you can print just that page with the CHANGES command. However,
an unchanged paragraph that used to be on the same page now is on the next
page. Thus, if you have added material, check to see that lines did not get pushed
to a new page that has no footing.
Example
This example shows using the CHANGES command when TGAL is run:
TGAL\IN EDITFILE, OUT $S.#PRINTER/CHANGES;VERSION "AA"
With this command, TGAL only prints the pages with changes that match the “AA”
version. Therefore, only those pages which have a tag or footing of “AA” are printed.
You thus have a current document by collating the changed pages with the originals.
