Using the List Function

A list is a column of data on a section that is populated by the BldGrpList rule.

The List function works with the BldGrpList rule to print sections containing lists, or columns, side by side in rows. The tallest field in the row and the GroupBegin:List parameters, MinSpacing and AddSpacing, determine the row height. The List sub parameters are:

Parameter

Description

AddSpacing

Adds additional spacing in FAP units between rows of data. There are 2400 FAP units per inch.

MinSpacing

Defines the minimum size in FAP units for each row of data.

MinLines

Defines the minimum number of lines to be printed on the first page of a section. When pagination occurs, if the number of lines printed on the first page is less than the MinLines amount, the entire section is moved to the second page.

MinLinesCont

Defines the minimum number of lines to be printed on the last page of a section. When pagination occurs, if the number of lines printed on the last page is less than the MinLinesCont amount, lines are taken from the preceding page to meet the minimum.
