Banner Maintenance
6-7
For instance, a banner may be defined as follows:
BIN: bin
NAME: distname
FILE: filename
beginend
Then, if the banner is printed for file GLREPORT, and this copy of the report is to be distributed to
John Stuart
at bin location
LU 234
, the banner header will be printed:
BIN: LU 234
NAME: JOHN STUART
FILE: GLREPORT
/*BEGIN*/
The banner function uses one of two large fonts for the header. The larger of the two fonts allows
10
characters per line and the smaller of the two allows
18
characters per line. If after the control
words are replaced, any one of the four lines is longer than
10
characters, the smaller font will be
used. Otherwise, the larger font is used.
The character used for the larger of the two fonts is defined in the banner maintenance program.
The smaller of the two fonts will use the character of the letter it is printing for the large font
character. For instance:
SSSS M M AAA L L
S MM MM A A L L
SSS M MM M AAAAA L L
S M M A A L L
SSSS M M A A LLLLL LLLLL
