Decisions to make bef o re creating your JSL
Before starting to develop the JSL for your application, there are
some key decisions you must make, based on your site-specific
needs and the design of the application.
Input data
In general, you should know this information about the input data
before creating the JSL:
•The input source, such as the following:
— Host support ing the 3211 or 4245 host interface
— Reel-to-reel tape or cartridges, which are offline devices
— Host interface processor (HIP) connection, which is a high-
speed channel for data transmission to the LPS from any of
several other interfaces, including XPMF-VMS and XPF
— System disk
— Combination of two or more of these types.
•Computer on which the data was created
•Block and record lengths and structure
•Code in which the data is encoded, such as ASCII and EBCDIC
•How printer carriage control (PCC) information should be
processed
•For tapes or cartridges only, the label format used.
