RE: How do you call font settings in a WSCST

["Stone, Joel" <StoneJ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you want to underline, there are two simple methods to try:

 

1)    Are you using a DDS printer file?  Simply use the UNDERLINE keyword.

 

2)    If using a program described printer format, simply write the dollar amount BEFORE ZERO LINES, then WRITE PRINT-LINE BEFORE 1 LINE, where the PRINT-LINE contains only the underscore character.

Subject: How do you call font settings in a WSCST

The default WSCST for an HP5Si contains the following entries:

 

   :STRBOLD                 
     DATA ='1B28733342'X.   
   :ENDBOLD                 
     DATA ='1B28733042'X.   
   :STRSUBS                 
     DATA ='1B26612B2E3352'X.
   :ENDSUBS                 
     DATA ='1B26612D2E3352'X.
   :STRSUPS                 
     DATA ='1B26612D2E3352'X.
   :ENDSUPS                 
     DATA ='1B26612B2E3352'X.
   :STRUS                   
     DATA ='1B26643044'X.   
   :ENDUS                   
     DATA ='1B266440'X.     

Is there a way to "call" these "commands" in a COBOL WRITE statement?  The objective is to to print something like "Your current account balance is _$x,xxx.xx_." where the dollar amount is underlined (as indicated by '_') and in bold.

 

As always, thanks in advance,
