RE: 3UP LAbels Revisited

>From DDS (printer) manual:

The following example shows how to specify the POSITION
keyword.
|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....
A*
A R REC1 
A FLD1 6S 2 POSITION(2.0 1.983) 
A* 
A FLD2 42A POSITION(&FLD2A &FLD2B) 
A FLD2A 5S 3P 
A FLD2B 5S 3P
A* Note: The UOM parameter on the CRTPRTF command
determines the units of measure for the parameter values.

This is a very flexible solution, only remember to use an
offset (x,y) approach in you programs.
