Record structure

A record is arbitrarily divided into two portions: operating system and user.

The operating system portion of the record contains information that is supplied by the host operating or spooling system.

The user portion of the record contains information that is provided by the application or the program that is running on the host system.

The boundary between the two portions of the record is traditionally between the record length and the printer carriage control (PCC) fields. The PDL RECORD command defines the components of a record.
