Examples

The examples contained in this section show how to use ACIF processin parameters for conversion, resource retrieval, specifying fonts, and i location of resource directories. For indexing examples, see Chapter of an ACIF Application in AIX” on page 53. For examples of how to us

theline2afp command to transform S/370 line data and unformatted ASCII fi printing with PSF for AIX, refer to “Using the IBMline2afpPrint Command” in Services Facility for AIX: Print .Submission

Note: In the following examples, ACIF is run byacif enteringcommand, the
parameters,		and	values	on	the		command		line. When	all of	the par
will not	fit	on	a single		line		across		the screen,	the	backslash,
continue	reading		the command from the next line.
1. You	have an		EBCDIC	S/370		line		data OLDFILEfile .named14ð3		that	you
want	to	transform into			a	MO:DCA-P		document NEWFILEnamed.afp. To
do this,		enter:

acif inputdd=OLDFILE.14ð3 outputdd=NEWFILE.afp cctype=a \￿ fileformat=record pagedef=P1Að6462 formdef=F1A1ð11ð

ACIF converts the S/370 line data file, inputddspecified with the parameter, into a document file with the name specified by

outputdd parameter.

You specifiedcctype=a to indicate that the file contains EBCDIC carriage control characters. This particular input file is in length record format, so you indicated this by specifying

fileformat=record . Thepagedef andformdef parameters are required with your line data input file, so you specified the file definition and form definition you want ACIF to use in proces file.

2.You have an AFP MYFILEfile ) (that contains page segments and overlays. You would like to retrieve the page segments and from the file and create both a data file and a resource enter:

acif inputdd=MYFILE outputdd=MYDATA resobjdd=MYRES \ restype=pseg,ovly,fdef formdef=F1H1ð11ð

From this job, ACIF will produce			an AFP	document	file	and a r
file. The		AFP document MYDATAfile) (will	contain	the AFP	data	from
MYFILE.	The	resourceMYRESfile)will( contain the resource data from
MYFILE.

You specifiedrestype=pseg,ovly,fdef so that the page segments and overlays would be included in the resource file, along with

definition (specifiedformdefwith parameter)the that you want ACIF to use when processing the file.

For more information about when and		why you would want to use
ACIF’s	resource retrieval functions,	refer to “Retrieving Reso
page	14

3.You have an inputMYFILEfile.asc)( that contains unformatted ASCII data, and you want three coded fonts to be used in proce Helvetica 12-point, and Times New Roman 10-point and 9-point. Yo
