What can I do with this system value?
You can specify the point size for the double-byte coded font. The height of characters is measured in points, where 1 point is equal to 1/72nd of an inch. An 18-point font has characters that are 18/72 or 1/4 of an inch high. For example, a particular font might have available sizes of 8, 10, or 12.
This system value is used with the Coded font name (QIGCCDEFNT) system value when the system transforms an SNA character string (SCS) into an Advanced Function Printing data stream (AFPDS). These system values are also used when the system creates an AFPDS spooled file with shift in/shift out characters present in the data.
This system value has the following options:
- Selected by the system (*NONE)
- No font point size is identified to the system.
- 000.1 - 999.9
- The point size for the double-byte coded font.
