Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

Printer carriage Printer carriage control processing may differ if it is associated control and DJDEs with DJDEs. Use of certain PCC parameters in conjunction with

DJDEs affects what those parameters do. The following table shows what to expect from those PCC parameters when DJDEs are present.

Print and Skip (online)

Treated as a Skip Immediate carriage control parameter.

 

• If the printer is not at the channel specified, a skip occurs.

Types of DJDEs

There are two types of DJDEs: page oriented and record oriented.

Page oriented Page oriented DJDEs change the look of subsequent pages DJDEs within a report, and can change these pages differently on

different copies.

If DJDE parameters are placed within the report itself, they take effect at the next page boundary. (They can take effect on the current page if no data has yet been printed on it.)
