This example shows that a job start command is only translated to a Form Feed if it is the same type of job as the currently active job.

Logical Not (¬) Commands

In order to maintain compatibility with existing data streams and applications, the 5250 ALLY supports the use of Logical Not (¬) commands to initiate PFS and FF suppression modes.

The PFS/FF suppression modes that these commands initiate are not the same as Auto PFS and Auto FF suppression modes. For example, if a Logical Not command is used to initiate FF suppression mode, then the FF pass-through feature described above is not available.

Also, if PFS/FF suppression mode is initiated with a Logical Not command, it cannot be terminated automatically with the Auto PFS/FF suppression terminator s+Xd; it must be terminated with the appropriate Logical Not command.

The Logical Not commands:

¬¬<<<

Initiates PFS Suppression

¬¬>>>

Terminates PFS Suppression

¬¬{{{

Initiates Form Feed Suppression

¬¬}}}

Terminates Form Feed Suppression

If ¬¬{{{ is used to initiate FF suppression mode, then the following is the only way to send a Form Feed to the printer:
