Creating a Form and Adding Form Components
4. Create the form and start adding the form components from the layout
grid. (Refer to Figure 55 on page 241.) Use the Special Function Control
Character and Create command to define a form named HCBOATS. Use
the Box command to define the outer border with a line thickness (
LT
) 3,
top left corner at row (
SR
) 11 column (
SC
) 10, and bottom right corner at
row (
ER
) 55, column (
EC
) 70. In the same Box command sequence,
define another box with a line thickness of 2, top left corner at row 28
column 14, and bottom right corner at row 44.9 column 66. After defining
the boxes, stop the Box command.

6. To make the columns for the special order items, add two vertical lines
each with a line thickness (
LT
) of 1, one line in column (
C
) 22 and the
other line in column 58. Each line will start at row (
SR
) 28 and end at row
(
ER
) 44.9.

7. To add the horizontal lines, define one line and then duplicate that line
using the Vertical Duplication command. The line will have a single line
thickness (
LT
), be in row (
R
) 30.4, starting in column (
SC
) 14 and ending
in column (
EC
) 66. With vertical duplication, the line will be duplicated
(
dup #
) 6 times with 2.5 row offset (
offset #
) spacing between each
duplication. The Vertical Duplication command must be input, the
horizontal line being duplicated must be input, and the Vertical
Duplication command must be turned off.
