You

pagedef= pdefname

Specifies the file name of the page definition. A page d

the

page formatacif thatcommandthe uses

to

compose

the

 

 

input file into pages. The page definition

is

actually

time, not at print time. The value is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

pdefname

Any

valid

page

definition

filepdefname. Thecan be

 

 

 

one to eight alphanumeric or national characters,

 

 

including

the two-character prefix,

if

pdefname

is

case-sensitive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

If

the file name of the

file extension, do not use the file extension

 

 

specifying

the page

definition.

For

example,

 

 

a

page definition memonamed.Pdef38PP

 

,

specify

 

 

 

 

pagedef=memo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The acif

command does

not

require a

page

definition

when

ind

an AFP data stream file. However, ACIF does require a page

definition

to transform an input file

that contains

S/370 line

mixed-mode

data,

or

unformatted ASCII

data into MO:DCA-P. If

are transforming

 

such

an

input

file, and youpagedef=do ,not specify

or if you specifypagedef=

without a

page

definition fileacif

name, th

command

will

not

work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

page

definition

you

use

may

be

located:

 

 

Ÿ

In

an

AIX

directory

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

Inline in the

file (that

is,

within the file

itself)

If the page definition file is in an userlibAIX directory, use

parameter pdeflibor parameter to specify the path to the fil example:

Ÿ pagedef=memo userlib=/usr/afp/resources

or

Ÿ pagedef=memo pdeflib=/usr/lib/pagedefns

If the page definition is an inline resource, you must do

ŸSpecifycc=yes to indicate that the file contains carriage characters.

ŸSpecifypagedef= pdefname, wherepdefname is the name of the inline page definition; orpagedef=dummyspecify .

If you specifypagedef=dummybut the file does not include a inline page definition,acif commandthe looks for the page

definition nameddummy .
