FORMAT
This parameter specifies a page descriptor entry (PDE) to be used in
formatting the printed output, such as location of starting print line for
each logical page on the physical page, font usage, and page
orientation.

pde-id
References a PDE that must have been define d
previously in a JDL or may make reference to a PDE
file separately cataloged in the PDE directory on
disk.
Standard
pde-ids are defined in the section "PDE
command" in this chapter, such as FMT1 and FMT2.
These standard pde-ids are part of the LPS and may
be used unless a specialized PDE must be defined.
An active PDE may subsequently be replaced
entirely or modified in part through DJDEs (refer to
the chapter "Specifying dynamic job descriptor
entries (DJDEs)."
Details on the PDE parameter are discussed in the
“Page descriptors” section of this chapter. Creating
and compiling PDE files with the PDL processor is
discussed in the “Compiling the JSL” section in the
chapter "Creating a job source library (JSL)."
The default is FMT1.
