SET REDUCED CHARACTER SEPARATION SRCS is used to establish reduced inter-character escapement for subsequent text. The established reduced escapement remains in effect until the next occurrence of SRCS or of SET ADDITIONAL CHARACTER SEPARATION (SACS) in the data stream or until it is reset to the default value by a subsequent occurrence of CARRIAGE RETURN/LINE FEED (CR/LF) or of NEXT LINE (NEL) in the data stream, see annex C. Pn specifies the number of units by which the inter-character escapement is reduced. The unit in which the parameter values are expressed is that established by the parameter value of SELECT SIZE UNIT (SSU).
(srs ps) |
function |
START REVERSED STRING SRS is used to establish in the data component the beginning and the end of a string of characters as well as the direction of the string. This direction is opposite to that currently established. The indicated string follows the preceding text. The established character progression is not affected. The beginning of a reversed string is indicated by SRS with a parameter value of 1. A reversed string may contain one or more nested strings. These nested strings may be reversed strings the beginnings of which are indicated by SRS with a parameter value of 1, or directed strings the beginnings of which are indicated by START DIRECTED STRING (SDS) with a parameter value not equal to 0. Every beginning of such a string invokes the next deeper level of nesting. This Standard does not define the location of the active data position within any such nested string. The end of a reversed string is indicated by SRS with a parameter value of 0. Every end of such a string re-establishes the next higher level of nesting (the one in effect prior to the string just ended). The direction is re-established to that in effect prior to the string just ended. The active data position is moved to the character position following the characters of the string just ended. The parameter values are: 0 end of a reversed string; re-establish the previous direction 1 beginning of a reversed string; reverse the direction.

START OF SELECTED AREA SSA is used to indicate that the active presentation position is the first of a string of character positions in the presentation component, the contents of which are eligible to be transmitted in the form of a data stream or transferred to an auxiliary input/output device.

The string of characters actually transmitted or transferred depends on the setting of the GUARDED AREA TRANSFER MODE (GATM) and on any guarded areas established by DEFINE AREA QUALIFICATION (DAQ), or by START OF GUARDED AREA (SPA) and END OF GUARDED AREA (EPA).

SET SPACE WIDTH SSW is used to establish for subsequent text the character escapement associated with the character SPACE. The established escapement remains in effect until the next occurrence of SSW in the data stream or until it is reset to the default value by a subsequent occurrence of CARRIAGE RETURN/LINE FEED (CR/LF), CARRIAGE RETURN/FORM FEED (CR/FF), or of NEXT LINE (NEL) in the data stream, see annex C. Pn specifies the escapement. The unit in which the parameter value is expressed is that established by the parameter value of SELECT SIZE UNIT (SSU). The default character escapement of SPACE is specified by the most recent occurrence of SET CHARACTER SPACING (SCS) or of SELECT CHARACTER SPACING (SHS) or of SELECT SPACING INCREMENT (SPI) in the data stream if the current font has constant spacing, or is specified by the nominal width of the character SPACE in the current font if that font has proportional spacing.

(tac pn) |
function |
TABULATION ALIGNED CENTRED TAC causes a character tabulation stop calling for centring to be set at character position n in the active line (the line that contains the active presentation position) and lines of subsequent text in the presentation component, where n equals the value of Pn. TAC causes the replacement of any tabulation stop previously set at that character position, but does not affect other tabulation stops. A text string centred upon a tabulation stop set by TAC will be positioned so that the (trailing edge of the) first graphic character and the (leading edge of the) last graphic character are at approximately equal distances from the tabulation stop.
(tale pn) |
function |
TABULATION ALIGNED LEADING EDGE TALE causes a character tabulation stop calling for leading edge alignment to be set at character position n in the active line (the line that contains the active presentation position) and lines of subsequent text in the presentation component, where n equals the value of Pn. TALE causes the replacement of any tabulation stop previously set at that character position, but does not affect other tabulation stops. A text string aligned with a tabulation stop set by TALE will be positioned so that the (leading edge of the) last graphic character of the string is placed at the tabulation stop.
(tate pn) |
function |
TABULATION ALIGNED TRAILING EDGE TATE causes a character tabulation stop calling for trailing edge alignment to be set at character position n in the active line (the line that contains the active presentation position) and lines of subsequent text in the presentation component, where n equals the value of Pn. TATE causes the replacement of any tabulation stop previously set at that character position, but does not affect other tabulation stops. A text string aligned with a tabulation stop set by TATE will be positioned so that the (trailing edge of the) first graphic character of the string is placed at the tabulation stop.
(tbc ps) |
function |
TABULATION CLEAR TBC causes one or more tabulation stops in the presentation component to be cleared, depending on the parameter value: 0 the character tabulation stop at the active presentation position is cleared 1 the line tabulation stop at the active line is cleared 2 all character tabulation stops in the active line are cleared 3 all character tabulation stops are cleared 4 all line tabulation stops are cleared 5 all tabulation stops are cleared In the case of parameter value 0 or 2 the number of lines affected depends on the setting of the TABULATION STOP MODE (TSM)
(tcc pn1 pn2) |
function |
TABULATION CENTRED ON CHARACTER TCC causes a character tabulation stop calling for alignment of a target graphic character to be set at character position n in the active line (the line that contains the active presentation position) and lines of subsequent text in the presentation component, where n equals the value of Pn1, and the target character about which centring is to be performed is specified by Pn2. TCC causes the replacement of any tabulation stop previously set at that character position, but does not affect other tabulation stops. The positioning of a text string aligned with a tabulation stop set by TCC will be determined by the first occurrence in the string of the target graphic character; that character will be centred upon the tabulation stop. If the target character does not occur within the string, then the trailing edge of the first character of the string will be positioned at the tabulation stop. The value of Pn2 indicates the code table position (binary value) of the target character in the currently invoked code. For a 7-bit code, the permissible range of values is 32 to 127; for an 8-bit code, the permissible range of values is 32 to 127 and 160 to 255.
(tsr pn) |
