FORMS(channel, control_code)
Arguments
channel
The channel of the device where the control values should be sent. (n)
control_code
An expression whose result is one of the following ASCII control values to be processed: (n)
0 = Transmit a form feed.
1–9999 = Transmit a specified number of new line controls.
-1 = Transmit a vertical tab.
-2 = Transmit a ctrl+n.
-3 = Transmit a new line.
Discussion
The FORMS statement processes special ASCII control codes. It is most commonly used to control vertical alignment on line printers. Control values of less than -3 cause no action, while numbers greater than 9999 generate an “Arithmetic operand exceeds maximum size” error ($ERR_BIGNUM).
Examples
forms(TTCHN, 0) ;Transmits one form feed forms(TTCHN, -1) ;Transmits one vertical tab forms(TTCHN, 15) ;Transmits 15 new lines
