Specifying print format parameters

•If a proportional pitch font is used, the starting column number for printing the RTEXT is determined by using the character spacing value for the space character in the character font.

•If RTEXT is specified along with COVER=(FRONT, SEP) or (BOTH, SEP), the RTEXT pages are printed on the covers. Front covers are picked only on copies for which there is RTEXT. If RTEXT is specified in noncollate mode, only the routing page for copy one is printed.

•EBCDIC or hexadecimal strings (or hex defined bytes in a character string) used in an RTEXT command are interpreted as standard EBCDIC and are translated to extended ASCII.

•Double byte font support: Double byte text strings are supported for the CME CONSTANT value if KCODE or DBCODE is specified for the VOLUME command. The maximum number of double byte characters is 127.

•Catalogued RTEXT files: When there are a large number of RTEXT parameters, you should precompile them and store them in the “lcds” resources folder, instead of including them in a JDL. After they are compiled, you can access them from either a JDL or a DJDE by using their object file names. RTEXT parameters must be precompiled to be accessed with a DJDE.

To catalog RTEXT parameters, you must include an identifier of the type ac (at least one alpha character) in the ROUTE command. This identifier is used to reference the RTEXT file by means of the ROUTE RTEXT= rtextid parameter. If the catalogued RTEXT is defined within a JSL, it is automatically applied to that JDL.

The RTEXT file is catalogued if the ROUTE command has an identifier, even if the ROUTE command is inside the portion of the JSL that defines a JDL. (This is different from other catalogued file creation such as PDEs or CMEs.)

An example of catalogued RTEXT usage is shown below.

ROUTEF1: ROUTE RTEXT=('USER1',	1,	33,	64),
RTEXT=('BLDG1',	1,	34,	64),

RTEXT=('USER2',	2,	33,	64),
RTEXT=('BLDG2',	2,	34,	64);
