Xerox 701P21091 Options 29. Line Fdata parameter options and definitions, Default offset

Specifying print format parameters

LINE FCB	• If you specify FCB=PROCESS, an FCB load causes
parameter: points	positioning to TOF. If the system is already at TOF, page eject
to note	does not occur. However, if the line number before the FCB
	load is greater than TOF, a page eject occurs.
	• If you specify FCB=PROCESS and an FCB is sent from the
	host, the later FCB overrides the previous FCB or VFU. Its
	length replaces the previous BOF. Furthermore, its contents
	and length are saved on the disk.
	• If no Bottom Of Form is specified in the JDE, the length of the
	last FCB sent from the host is retrieved from the disk and
	becomes BOF. Note that Top of FORM (TOF) is not affected
	by the FCB.
	• Non-U. S. markets only: The print position indexing (PPI) byte
	of the FCB is suppressed.
	LINE FDATA
	Specifies the starting point of the file data from the beginning of
	the user portion of a data record. This command can be used to
	skip past information, such as a PCC byte that is not actually
	part of the file data.
Syntax	LINE FDATA = (offset, termination)
