ALIGN (AN), cont.
Remarks, cont. Box:
The anchor points are situated at the lower side of the line or box in
relation to how text is printed in the selected direction. Lines and boxes
have only three anchor points, each of which can be specifi ed by means
of three different numbers.
A special case is multi-line text fi elds in a box. The fi elds can be aligned in
nine positions in relation to the box, whereas the box itself only has three
anchor points, as described above. Refer to the PRBOX statement for more
information on alignment of multi-line text fi elds.
