SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES)
8-12 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE
Application of DJDEs
The following occurrences should be noted when using DJDE
records:
The specific parameters included in a DJDE packet are the only ones
modified when the DJDE is applied. The only exceptions are the
JDE=DJDE and JDL=DJDE, which cause all processing parameters
contained in the JDE to be updated except for those listed in the “Job
parameter modification restrictions” section. The modified parameter
remains in effect until that parameter is encountered in another DJDE
packet or until the end-of-report is reached. At the start of the next
report, either of the following occurs:
•If in multireport mode or operating online, the next report begins
with all of the parameters specified in the original JDE invoked
by the operator’s START command.
•If in single-report mode, the system stops, waits for the operator
to enter a new START command and then processes the next
report with all processing parameters defined in the JDE
invoked by the new START command.
Figures 8-1 and 8-2 show the usage of a single- and multiple-record
DJDE and IDEN command

Using the JDE=DJDE to reassign the top-of-page channel
assignment (generally channel 1), when the DJDE is a data record,
may incorrectly position the first page after the page transition
occurs. Page-oriented DJDEs, like the JDE=DJDE, are implemented
when the LPS detects the switch from one physical page to the next.
