The ADD command reads the XML content file for the specified content section and adds the content to the current document or template. LANSA fields passed with the command can be merged into any XML attribute using the {field} notation.
The PDF document can be broken down into small content regions and each ADD command call can generate the content for that region.
When adding content that contains a table with a height attribute, if all the rows in the working list do NOT fit into the specified table height then:
a status of INCOMPLETE is returned
the working list is modified and
unused entries are left in the list ready for another ADD content call.
