Duplication Commands (Create)
There are two commands that can be used to duplicate elements on a form:
HDUP (Horizontal Duplication) and VDUP (Vertical Duplication). Each
specifies the number of times the element will be printed and the spacing
between each duplication. These commands function with any element on a
form except Overlay Data.
Horizontal Duplication Command
This command allows you to duplicate specific elements horizontally on a
form, such as lines, logos, barcodes, etc. The basic command is:
Table 12. Horizontal Duplication Command
Field Function Option/Modifier Selections
HDUP; Command Specifier Enter HDUP;
dups; Specifies number of duplications. Enter the desired number of duplications.
The valid range of values is 1-255. Make
sure there is enough room on the form for
the duplication(s) to print.
dist Specifies the distance from the
starting point of one element to the
next duplication. This parameter
may specify columns or dots or a
combination of columns and dot
positions.
Enter a column or dot distance or a
combination of columns and dots.
Whether in columns or dots depends on
the SCALE Command. You may also use
the XX.YY format for plotting duplication
print locations explained earlier in the
Standards Section.
element Defines the element that will be
duplicated.
You may define a line, call a logo or
a barcode, etc.
Enter print information in proper format.
