<CHAIN>

 

Chaining frames:

Frames can be chained to continue text from one area to the next one.

 

<CHAIN>

 

Use this tag to define the current frames chain that will be used with the next <USE#frame1>:

 

Syntax: <CHAIN=frame1,frame2 [=PAGE][,frame3[,frame4]]…..>

 

When a text does not fit in a frame, then vpxPrint switch automatically to the next one in the chain.

 

Examples:

<CHAIN=1,2,3,4>

<CHAIN=1,2=PAGE,3,4>        The frame #2 skips to the next page

 

Notes :

Several chains can be defined at any times but they must use different first frames.

You can define a full chain or individual frame chaining like <CHAIN=1,2><CHAIN=2,3>.

if a page skip is done by vpxPrint, preprocessed variables and <#PAGES> are updated to reflect the changes.
But these changes are not back processed for the

To interrupt the chain use <CHAIN=2,0> to stop the chain after frame 2.
