How to write a horizontal line insapscript(not using &ULINE&)

[aris_hidalgo]

Hello experts,

I am presently having a problem on why my statement &ULINE& does is always shorted than the width of my MAIN window no matter what I do. So now I want to experiment on how to write a horizontal line without using the ULINE statement. By the way, the width of my MAIN window is 78 CH. A while ago I experimented with the length of the uline but no matter what length I gave it its always shorter than the width of my main window.

Again, thank you guys for your time and take care!

Hi Viraylab,

The <b>&ULINE(X)&</b> may solve your problem.

Specify proper value for X which can fill your main window length.As you specified that your main window size as 78,try &ULINE(78)&.

Without using ULINE,then you need to write your line with some dashes which fits main window length.

Try as follows in your layout

<b>/: -

---

</b>

But this is not advisable.

Thanks,

Vinay

Hi,

As i've said in my post, the statement &ULINE& is not working properly since no matter what length I give it is always shorter than the width of the MAIN window...

hi Viray,

Use this statement

Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.

<b>/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW</b>

Hi,

Horizontal line can be inserted using BOX command by keeping the height as 0. Imagine Horizontal line as a box height 0 and with a specified width.

So the syntax will be

<b>BOX WIDTH 12 CM HEIGHT 0 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 1.</b>

Use BOX command and use position to place it in window.

take care of x and y coordinates and make sure that they r in correct position.

HI Viraylab,

I think the paragraph format you are using is having some indentation (Some space in front of the line starting and end of the line).

Create a new paragraph format which doesn't have any space in front of the line and at the end of the line.

use below for horiizontal line

/:   POSITION XORIGIN '2.0' CH YORIGIN '60.2' LN   
/:   SIZE WIDTH '75.0' CH HEIGHT '0' LN            
/:   BOX FRAME 10 TW

use below for vertical line.

/:   POSITION XORIGIN '2.0' CH YORIGIN '60.2' LN   
/:   SIZE WIDTH '75.0' CH HEIGHT '0' LN            
/:   BOX FRAME 10 TW
