Xerox 701P21091 manual Specifying Djde records

Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

Example Here is another example:

IDEN PREFIX=E'DJDE', SKIP=7, OFFSET=2,

OPRINFO=YES;

For information on coding the IDEN command and explanations of its parameters and options, refer to the IDEN command description in the “Specifying input parameters” chapter.

Specifying DJDE records

DJDE records are part of the data stream. The system looks for them only if there is an IDEN PREFIX command within the JDE used to process the job. DJDE information is contained in one or more records, each of which may be up to the maximum record length specified for the job input data. For each DJDE record, the prefix (the identification field) must begin in the same location in the record.

Ending a DJDE A group of DJDE records, called a packet, is terminated by an END parameter in the last DJDE record in the packet. All specified DJDE information is applied at the next record or page boundary after the END parameter is encountered.

The end of a DJDE record parameter that is split and continued on the next DJDE record must be followed by a comma, then a semicolon (,;).

NOTE: After a DJDE packet is terminated by an END parameter, there must be one or more data records before the next DJDE packet. DJDE records directly following a previously terminated DJDE parameter set are ignored.

Multiple DJDEs There may be multiple DJDE packets in a job. Only the specific parameters mentioned within the packet are modified.

DJDE coding When preparing DJDE records as part of the input data stream, guidelines keep in mind the following guidelines.

•A DJDE record may contain more than one parameter. Each parameter within a record must be separated from the next parameter by a comma.

•The prefix in a DJDE record may appear after the DJDE parameter(s) as long as it is consistently located in all DJDE records.
