The application program can set editing for the data stored in the record data area for each field.
These decorations are explained below.
The color of the character to be printed is specified for each field when creating the descriptor. Setting the field color attribute enables the color specified when creating the descriptor to be changed dynamically and disables printing of data for the field to be output.
One of the following seven colors can be specified for the character color:
Black
Red
Green
Yellow
Blue
Pink
Cyan
The application program can print decorating data by using Setting the field highlight attribute.
One of the following seven can be specified for the decoration:
Bold
Italic
Bold-Italic
Underline
Bold with underline
Italic with underline
Bold-Italic with underline
Underline is drawn for the character strings or whole field.
Moreover specify the parenthesized value for the field control to specify the underlined character.
Specify the font on the entire form using PRTFONT(Output font name) and FONTFACE (Font face name) in the printer information file.
When the form descriptor is created, a font number from 0 to 255 can be specified for each field. Specify the font with the value from FONT000 to FONT255 (Font number specification) corresponding to the specified number.
Numeric fields can be printed with data edited.
The edit format is specified when creating the descriptor.
See Table 3.1, "Edit Format and Example of Edit and Output" for an example of the print results when the edit format is specified.
Table 3.1 lists examples of editing formats and editing output.

Character expansion editing and output
The character extended editing display function repeatedly displays the first character of a record data field up to the field length. Use Field display attribute setting at output to execute character extension editing. This editing function is valid only when an attribute of an output field is numeric. Figure 3.7 shows an output example.
Figure 3.7 Character extension editing
Specify an optional character size and pitch for output fields.
Characters are output as multi-line. Word wrapping is processed, if specified in the descriptor. Specify LFCODE and LFPRINT in printer information file, if line-feeds are explicitly needed.
