v Offset v Grid (design aid) position If nothing is specified, the default values are used. Fonts are predefined, but you can change PFD definition fonts if you want. You can specify which fields of data in the database file are printed. You can specify the name of the database file, library, and record format. If you do not specify them in a PFD definition, you need to specify them when you print a database file member. You can also specify fields in the database file to cause a page break. The Print Format Utility manages two kinds of records which are distinguished depending on their definitions as follows: You must define how you lay out the data, which are called elements , in a record as a record layout . For example, you can print the following label from a record in a database file member using Print Format Utility. v The record defined in the database file. It is referred to as a † database file record. † v The record defined by Print Format Utility as a unit or set of data to be printed. It is simply referred to as a † record. † A record consists of data from a database file record and other data such as text, lines, boxes, and bar codes you define for the record. On the above label, the product name ’Color TV’, the price ’980’, and the bar code which is coded from the price are picked up from the fields in the database file record. Other data in the label such as ’Product :’, ’Price :’, lines, and logos are defined in this record for the label independently of the data in the database file record.
