PlanetPress Alambic is the name of the RIP built in to PlanetPress (the RIP PlanetPress uses when you perform a preview and

select Internal interpreter as the PostScript interpreter).

version

String value containing the version number of the RIP the document is using to execute. For example, 4.0.

formversion

Integer value containing the version number of the document requested by the trigger. Recall that you can assign a version

number to a document and increment the number each time you update and reinstall the document. When you execute a doc-

ument that uses a version number, the document verifies its version number against the one you specify in the trigger, and it

proceeds with execution only if the two version numbers match.

Assignment Operator

= (operator)

Assign a value to a variable. This provides a more convenient alternative to the set() command. Note that spaces between

the operator and its operands are optional.

Code Samples

&price := 18.53
