1. Overview The Host Forms Description Language (HFDL) operates in a standard IBM/MVS environment that includes Xerox high–speed, high–volume centralized printers. You use Xerox Print Resources Manager (XPRM) to store form files and resources in the XPRM database.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE • Conversion from .FRM to metacode. This feature is implemented as a stand-alone utility program. For details see Appendix D. HFDL also allows you to take advantage of the added features of the Xerox 4650 Printer (600 dpi forms).

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE only one set of forms at a time, and must remove and replace any forms currently loaded with the preprinted forms you want. The typical forms application usually requires a stock of preprinted forms. If there are different forms, storage costs can be high.
2. Planning your forms This chapter describes the parameters you must determine and specify when designing your form. Careful planning and design are critical to creating electronic versions of your forms. Form planning and design specify such things as page size, orientation, layout, fonts, inks, and highlight colors.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Landscape format is ideal for forms, spreadsheets, and reports that require columns across the page. For example, the landscape orientation is appropriate for a Gantt chart that lists six or twelve months horizontally, and lists the tasks vertically.
PLANNING YOUR FORMS If you decide to place marks along the edge of the physical page (edge–marking) in your form, be familiar with the edge–marking limitations.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 2–3 shows the location of the form origin of the virtual page in relation to the actual page size. Figure 2–3.
PLANNING YOUR FORMS Form element Element origin Fixed text (single line) Upper–left corner of the first character cell when the line appears upright. Fixed text Upper edge of the topmost character (multiple lines) cell and the leftmost edge of the leftmost character cell when viewed in an upright position.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE If you draw additional lines horizontally and vertically away from the form origin so that each additional line is one unit of measure apart, you create a grid. You can now position form elements by specifying a grid position.
PLANNING YOUR FORMS Fonts Fonts are character sets, each having a unique typeface (Times, Roman or Helvetica), type size (points), and type style (normal, bold, or italic). Fonts must reside in the host database and on the printer. Check with your System Administrator to identify the fonts available on your printer.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 2–6 shows the font orientations relative to the physical page. Figure 2–6. Font orientation PORTRAIT PAGE LANDSCAPE PAGE LANDSCAPE FONT PORTRAIT FONT Font orientation when using short–edge paper feed Normally, stock feeds into the printer moving in the direction of the page length.
PLANNING YOUR FORMS Virtual keyboard and font character maps You can create virtual keyboard and font character maps and store them in the XPRM database after installation. During the compilation of forms, you can set the compiler to use the character maps to enable keyboard–to–font character mapping.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE You can also use the mapping process to assign a different character to a key. Figure 2–8 shows you how to map a little used keyboard character, such as the cent sign (¢), to a new font character required in your form, the fraction one–half ( ).
PLANNING YOUR FORMS Font character maps Once the compiler equates a keyboard code point to a Xerox character identifier, another translation must locate the graphic representation of the character within the font. A font character map identifies the location of each graphic character within a font.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE For additional information regarding default ink palettes, catalogs, color models, ink priority and substitutions, and modifying output, refer to the Xerox LPS PDL/DJDE Reference Manual.
PLANNING YOUR FORMS Suggested uses You can use the design ruler for character spacing or line spacing. For example, you can use scale 1 for 10 characters per inch (cpi) or 10 lines per inch (lpi).

3. Using HFDL commands You use the Host Forms Description Language (HFDL) keyword commands to translate your form design into a format for the host computer. The command set representing your form becomes the Forms Source Language (FSL), which the host compiles and stores.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Command format Each HFDL command consists of a command identifier, parameters, and reserved words associated with the function. The following conventions apply: • A semicolon (;) terminates a command. • A comment line begins with the word COMMENT , followed by a comment and semicolon (;).
USING HFDL COMMANDS produces 65°. No mapping or translation is done to these characters. You can substitute the exclamation point (!) with any other character by using the LITERAL operand at the COMPILE command.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE commands, the defaults are used. If you want to include text on the form, you must specify the FONT command. FORM command You must first specify the FORM command when you describe your form. You must also completely contain it in the first record of the form description.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Refer to the output statement PAPER SIZE command in the Xerox LPS PDL/DJDE Reference manual. Figure 3–2 shows the command syntax flow.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 3–3 shows the command syntax flow. Figure 3–3. LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command syntax , ; LANDSCAPE SIZE IS n WIDE HIGH PAGE PORTRAIT units units n BY Parameters LANDSCAPE specifies the landscape form orientation.
USING HFDL COMMANDS GRID command Use the GRID command to specify the dimensions of the grid unit and the location of the form origin with respect to the virtual page origin. All HFDL description commands create and place form elements (lines and boxes) relative to the form origin.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE The GRID sizes must fall into the boundaries of the physical page. The smallest grid allowed is 1 XDOT by 1 XDOT . The largest grid allowed is 1 physical page by 1 physical page. Y specifies the form origin offset downward from the top–left corner of the virtual page.
USING HFDL COMMANDS When you compile a form in LPS format, fonts convert to uppercase. When you compile a form in XES format, fonts do not convert. The system accepts them in uppercase and lowercase. Refer to the “Managing and printing sample forms” chapter.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE management” chapter in the XPRM/HFDL 3.2 for IBM MVS Managing Resources manual. Figure 3–7 shows the command syntax flow. Figure 3–7. PALETTE command syntax PALETTE IS ; 'name' Parameter name represents the ink palette you use for ink information.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Parameters Inkname identifies all of the inks you use to create your form. If you use a reserved word such as BLACK as an ink name, you must enclose it in single quotes: ’BLACK’. You must also enclose ink names with embedded blanks in single quotes.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE IRESULT command The color result you receive from overlapping objects is either black or color for the entire page. The IRESULT command allows you to specify the result when objects imaged with different inks overlap. The IRESULT command appears in the HFDL, FDL, and PDL OUTPUT statements and DJDE.
USING HFDL COMMANDS • COMMENT • END. You must place coordinates within the boundaries of the physical page. If coordinates stay within the physical page, but extend beyond the virtual page, HFDL issues a warning message. The size of the lines table, currently set at 1,500, determines the maximum number of lines and boxes.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE represents the origin in the horizontal direction ( x –axis coordinate). units indicates the unit of measure for specifying the line origin. The units are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS . You can use two decimal places when you specify inches and centimeters.
USING HFDL COMMANDS the BOX command allows you to outline the frame of the box in color. Figure 3–12 shows the BOX command syntax flow. Figure 3–12.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Parameters C y specifies the y–axis coordinate for the box origin location. C x specifies the x–axis coordinate for the box origin location. units indicates the unit of measure for specifying the box origin. The units are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS .
USING HFDL COMMANDS TEXT AT command Use the TEXT AT command to incorporate text into your form. To include text in a form, you must specify at least one font. You use the FONT setup command to specify the font, and you can only specify one FONT command.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 3–13 shows the TEXT AT command syntax flow. Figure 3–13. TEXT AT command syntax LPI POINTS TEXT n SPACED PER LINE RIGHT CENTER TOP BOTTOM LEFT units COLUMN I.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Parameters HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL specifies the direction of the text relative to the page orientation. SPACED defines the amount of vertical space (in n units ) a line of text occupies. If you specify a value (not zero), it replaces the line spacing value of the font being used for this TEXT AT command.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Example Text justified in a column: COLUMN 1 INCH WIDE; TEXT JUSTIFIED IN COLUMN AT 1,1 ‘four four four five five five six six six’ This produces the following text on the form: four four four five five five six six six FONT n specifies the index number of the font you selected.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Single dots repeated, if you do not use a DOT LEADER command to specify the DOT LEADER text string. Examples The following is an example of a DOT LEADER used between two text strings: TEXT AT 1,1 ’John Doe’ DOT LEADER ’987–6543’; This produces the following text on the form: John Doe.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 3–14 shows the TEXT IN BOX co mm and syntax flow. Figure 3–14. TEXT IN BOX command syntax IN C y units C x ; BOX IN NEXT TOP LEFT BOTTOM CENTER TOP CENTER BO.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Parameters HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL specifies the text orientation of the text within the box. Do not confuse TEXT alignment with TEXT placement in the box. You can align horizontal text LEFT or RIGHT. You can align vertical text TOP or BOTTOM.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Do not use DOT LEADER in the JUSTIFIED mode. DOT LEADER overrides any alignment mode and places the text flush with the column boundaries. USING FONT n specifies a change of font for the next body of text which is not the dot leader string.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Examples Long form: HORIZONTAL TEXT SPACED 12 POINTS PER LINE USING FONT 1 AND USING INK 1 IN CENTER CENTER BOX 4 3 ‘FIRST’ ‘NATIONAL’ ‘TRUST’ IN NEXT HORIZONTAL BOX .
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE INK n specifies the ink number from the ink list that overrides the corresponding ink specified in the ink list of the logo file. If the logo has a NOSUBSTITUTION flag, then ink overrides are not allowed (highlight color only).
USING HFDL COMMANDS Examples Long form: GRAPHIC SYMBOL AT 1,1 SCALE IS 4 USING INK 3; There is no short form. SECTION command Use the SECTION command when a form consists of identical blocks of commands. You can save time by defining one section and then repeating it at the locations you want.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Examples Long form: BEGIN SECTION NUSEC; LOGO NEW0 AT 0,0 USING INK 2; TEXT AT 1,1 USING FONT 3 AND INK 1 ’Acme Weather Balloons’ END SECTION; There is no short form.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Figure 3–20. DO SECTION command syntax C x C y TIMES n name SECTION DO AT ; AND units units AT C a , EVERY REPEAT C i HORIZONTALLY VERTICALLY units units , Parameters name specifies the name of the section you want to invoke. n TIMES specifies the number of times you want the section repeated.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE COLUMN command Use the COLUMN command to establish the column width when you specify TEXT ALIGNED JUSTIFIED IN COLUMN . You can also use the COLUMN command to establish a right boundary for the DOT LEADER command. Parameters units indicates the unit of measure for the column width.
USING HFDL COMMANDS Specifying the base gap The base gap for text not fully justified is always ASCII code point X‘20’, the “blank”. The base gap for fully justified text is determined by the SPACING operand of the COMPILE command. If SPACING is specified in the JCL for such a job, the base gap is the EN space.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Table 3-1. Determining interword 1 Valid for fully justifed text only The interword multiplier: applied to the base gap, specified by: equals an interword gap of: INTERWORD .5 no SPACING operand 0.5 * the width of ASCII code point X‘20’ INTERWORD .
USING HFDL COMMANDS Sample strings you can use are as follows: ’ .’ produces . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ’*’ produces ***************************** ’–.’ produces –.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.–.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE down, you only have to change the initial values. You can shift text automatically when you add or delete text items. HFDL uses spaces to delimit keywords. Therefore, relative coordinates must not contain spaces between the variable name Y1 and the value + .
USING HFDL COMMANDS Examples Long form: COMMENT ***HFDL IS ABLE TO DESCRIBE MANY TYPES OF FORMS***; There is no short form. END command Use the END command to terminate a form description.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE 3–36 HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE 3.2 FOR IBM MVS CREATING FORMS.
4. Creating a sample form This chapter describes how to create a simple form electronically using the Host Forms Description Language (HFDL). The forms shown in the following figures are examples only and appear smaller than the actual forms. The steps on the following pages include both long and short forms of commands.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Setting up the form Follow these steps to set up the basic elements of your form: 1. Use the FORM command to specify both a unique form name that identifies the form to the system and a resolution. In this example, the form name is XEROX2 and the resolution is 300 SPI.
CREATING A SAMPLE FORM Since the sample form uses the default resolution, default physical page size, and default grid format, you can omit these commands.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE If you omit optional keywords and system defaults, the short form of the command looks like this example: AT 7 14 LINES –1 TO 132 EVERY 4; 2.
CREATING A SAMPLE FORM 4. Position the title in the center of the invisible box. This example shows the long form of the TEXT IN BOX command: HORIZONTAL TEXT ALIGNED CENTER USING FONT 1 IN CENTER BOX .
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE This example shows the short form of the command: TEXT FONT 2 IN BOX 7, –1 ’CAT’ ’NO’ BOX ’ITEM’ ’NO’ BOX ’DESCRIPTION’ BOX ’REOR’ ’POINT’.
5. Managing and printing sample forms When you have created your form design using Host Forms Description Language (HFDL) commands, you can compile, batch process, store, and print a sample of it. After this process completes, your form becomes available for use.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Parameters FSL is the only valid resource you can use. FSL=DDname [ (PDS member name) ] where DDname = XFFSL and PDS member name is the member name of the PDS where the FSL is stored. The DDname can be either a sequential or a partition data set.
MANAGING AND PRINTING SAMPLE FORMS Table 5-1. Determining interword gap 1 Valid for fully justifed text only The interword multiplier: applied to the base gap, specified by: equals an interword gap of: INTERWORD .5 no SPACING operand .5 * the width of ASCII code point X‘20’ INTERWORD .
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE MEMber=selection specifies which member(s) you want to compile. Specify only one member by using the exact member name for selection . Specify a group of members by using a DOS style command such as * and ? . Specify all members in the partition data set by substituting selection with * .
MANAGING AND PRINTING SAMPLE FORMS Command syntax examples Figure 5–3 shows an example of the command you use to compile a form called MYFORM where the DDname is XFFSL and the database will store the compiled form.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 5–7. BATCH command syntax BATCH DDname [ (PDS member name) ] The PDS member name identifies the file that contains the COMPILE commands. The PDS member must be in the same data set as the FSLs you are compiling.
MANAGING AND PRINTING SAMPLE FORMS Table 5–5 identifies the DDnames that the compiler uses to reference data sets for decentralized printers. Table 5–5. Resource DDnames for decentralized printers DDname Description XSFNTATT Data set containing font and logo attributes.
HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Table 5–7 identifies the DDnames and the statements required in addition to the resource data sets for decentralized printers. Table 5–7. HFDL execution DDnames for decentralized printers DDname Description SYSPRINT Writes the compiler listings when the LIST parameter of the COMPILE command is coded.
MANAGING AND PRINTING SAMPLE FORMS If you want to download and print a form sample following the compilation, the DDnames listed in Table 5–8 are required. Table 5–8. Data sets required to download and print DDnames Description XSUIN XPRM Utility commands are read from the file specified by the XSUIN DD statement.
