PDL principles and procedures

Here is a sample STOCKSET command:

SSML: STOCKSET ASSIGN=('WHITE',CVR),

ASSIGN=('YELLOW',BLL),

ASSIGN=('GREEN',SUM),

INIFEED=CVR,

SYSPAGE=SUM;

Specifying output There are many specifications you can select to define the requirements manner and look of your printed application. You can also have

messages displayed to operators to advise them of special circumstances. This is done with the MESSAGE command:

MESSAGE OTEXT= ('ALL FORMS DUPLEX ONLY!!!', 1, WAIT);

NOTE: The MESSAGE OTEXT command shown above is one example, and is not necessarily the recommended method for switching media. (Refer to the OUTPUT STOCKS and OUTPUT FEED command descriptions in the “Specifying print format parameters” chapter, for further information.)

Similarly, the ROUTE command sends printed information preceding the report to operators. Most output specifications are selected from parameters of the OUTPUT command. As with other commands, these can be specified at any command level, but are most often specified at the job level because of the many variations possible.

Job level Here are some examples of commands that are coded at the job

command or JDE level:
