Specifying input parameters

KCODE command: point to note

The DBCODE command can be used in the same manner as

KCODE.

PCC command

Enables you to create a table (or modify an existing standard table) of one-byte printer carriage control codes and define their action.

NOTE: This command is ignored by the DP EPS for both channel and TCP/IP processing. Carriage control (specifications such as Skip to Channel, Print, or Space 2 Lines) is accomplished by processing IBM channel commands, which have specific, well defined carriage control interpretations.

However, if you specify the PCC command in a JSL created on your system, you can transfer the JSL file to another laser printing system for use with offline printing.

All line spacing, skipping to channel, and printing actions are defined through this command.

You can optionally specify an identifier of the ac type (having at least one alphabetic character) when defining the PCC table, and reference this identifier in the LINE PCCTYPE parameter.
