HP Boldface On/Off mid field on output (conditional print code)

[Richard D. Williams]

Joe,

Try this:

declare 
hp_ul_on;hp_ul_on=chr("27"){chr("38"){chr("100"){chr("51"){chr("68"){""

declare hp_ul_off;hp_ul_off=chr("27"){chr("38"){chr("100"){chr("64"){""

declare hp_bold_on;hp_bold_on= 
chr("27"){chr("40"){chr("115"){chr("51"){chr("66"){""

declare hp_bold_off;hp_bold_off= 
chr("27"){chr("40"){chr("115"){chr("48"){chr("66"){""

i.e. useage:
invline(n)=hp_ul_on&hp_bold_on&z&hp_ul_off&hp_bold_off
