Do you find yourself wondering.....What the heck is a ZZZ? How do I make one? Why would I want to?

Don't fret, over the eons many a noted sage has asked the very same questions.

Please read Miscellaneous System Configuration Items (ZZZ)!

NOTE: Parm2 and Param3 must be two digits

Breaking it into pieces:

Parm1 = On/off switch (Y = on, N = off)

Parm2 = Horizontal Displacement from the left (In number of fixed pitch characters, of which there are 80 characters on each line in this particular program)

Parm3 = Vertical Displacement from the top (In number of lines, which are based on the fixed pitch font.)

Parm4 = Scaling Factor (This represents how many times the fixed pitch measure of the font is multiplied.)

Parm5 = Font Name (‘Free 3 of 9’ is the font that we deploy with the AMS installation. The name I found successful was ‘Free 3 of 9 Extended’.)
