Former Member — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 16:33:05 GMT

HI all,

I have main window in my script. I have some text which will be written at the bottom of the main window using bottom and endbottom command. Now I want a box around this text. Can anyone explain how do I write my box command.

Regards,

Varun.

Hi. Welcome to SDN. You can use the following coding to do boxes.

/:   BOX FRAME 10 TW                                                         
/:   BOX XPOS '1.5'  CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '12.7' CM FRAME 10 TW              
/:   BOX XPOS '12.75' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '12.7' CM FRAME 10 TW             
/:   BOX XPOS '17.75' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '12.7' CM FRAME 10 TW

Hi Varun,

You can define box as :

/: BOX WIDTH '72.50' CH HEIGHT '14.0' FRAME 10 TW

You can also create a window just for your box, and have some of this code.

Hi Varun,

Since you are creating box not of length of the whole window.You whould provide the Positions of XPOS & YPOS.

The code you gave will create the box for the whole window.

Hi Varun,

Please specify the X and Y coordinates of the box that you have defined.

/: BOTTOM

/: BOX XPOS '15.00' CH YPOS '1.25' LN WIDTH 60 CH HEIGHT '5.00' LN FRAME 10

/: * conditions apply as per company norms.

/: ENDBOTTOM

This will give you a box starts at 15CH (from Left) having height of 1.25 LN width of 60CH

Hi varun,

Your Ypos is too big ie 16 CM which is going beyond your lenght of the window.Try to change it.

Re: Scripts - BOX Command

Former Member — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 17:21:09 GMT

Hi Varun,

Please define your Coordinates with less dimesions. You are using CM . Try with "CH" OR "MM". Please define the height also.

I think In your case your box is going beyond your page limits.

Try :

/: BOX XPOS '2' CM YPOS '5' CM HEIGHT '12' CM FRAME 10 TW
