Breaking lines of graphics text

GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Guide
SC33-0867-01



The new-line character code, X'15', contained in the string of graphics text drawn at J , requests that the word 'CENTER' begin on a new line. Instead of performing two separate GSCHAR calls to place the words 'TOWN CENTER' at the right-hand side, one call with this special character code is enough. The new line starts directly under the starting point of the previous one.

Note: The new-line character code is passed to the GSCHAR as the character variable, NEWLINE. GSCHAR and GSCHAP can take character constants, character variables, or mixtures of these in the string parameter.
