This command may be discontinued in a future release. We highly recommend that you no longer use this command. To take advantage of newer Production Reporting functionality, use the DRAW command.
GRAPHIC ({line_int_lit|_var},{column_int_lit|_var},
{width_int_lit|_var}) BOX {depth_int_lit|_var}
[rule_width_int_lit|_var [shading_int_lit|_var]]width and depth
The width is the horizontal size in character columns; depth is the vertical size in lines. The top left corner of the box is drawn at the line and column specified. The bottom right corner is calculated using the width and depth. You can specify relative placement with (+), (-), or numeric variables, as with regular print positions.
rule_widthThe default rule width is 2 decipoints (there are 720 decipoints per inch). The top horizontal line is drawn just below the base of the line above the starting point. The bottom horizontal line is drawn just below the base of the ending line. Therefore, a one-line deep box surrounds a single line.
shadingA number between 1 and 100, specifying the percentage of shading to apply. 1 is very light, and 100 is black. If no shading is specified, the box is blank. Specify a rule-width of zero, if a border is not desired.
Draws a box of any size at any location on the page. Boxes can be drawn with any size rule and can be shaded or left empty. After GRAPHIC commands execute, Production Reporting changes the current print location to the starting location of the graphic. (This is different than the way the PRINT command works.)
