TEXT

The TEXT object allows the user to put a line of text on the page in a specified area. This object must always specify a VALUE property with a string that can contain one or more of the following metavariables.

Metavariable Description
&USERNAME Prints the user's name.
&CURDATE Prints the current date.
&CURTIME Prints the current time.
&PRINTDATE Prints the date for which the object is printed.
&PAGENUM Prints the page number.
&TIMEZONE Prints the current time zone.
&& Prints an ampersand (&).

The OPTIONS property, if present, requires the following parameters.
Parameter Description
HCENTER | LEFT | RIGHT Specifies the horizontal justification.
VCENTER | NONE Specifies the vertical justification.
ELLIPSIS | NONE Adds an ellipsis to the end of a string if the entire string does not fit within the described rectangle.
Multiline text prints if there is room in the rectangle, but using VCENTER on a multiline text block can produce unpredictable results.
