XES to AFP Batch Invocation Prerequisites

The following prerequisite products are required to use the XES to AFP batch program.

The idaXFC batch does not require the use of a Started Task and can be invoked via batch or TSO and uses reentrant and reusable codes. If required for performance reasons, the idaXFC batch program can be placed in the system Linklist or LPA. The minimum recom- mended batch or TSO region size is 4MB.

The idaXFC batch program operates as a batch job and requires approximately 1 MB. of storage in a load library.

•MVS/ESA Operating Systems in conjunction with TSO/ISPF

•JES2 or JES3 Spool system

Printer Prerequisites

The idaXFC Spool File Converter and idaXFC batch program version generate JES spool output in AFP format. A suitable AFP printer or print conversion system is required to proc- ess the generated output. The characteristics of the AFP output is that it uses 300 pel re- source references. The idaXFC Exit for idaPSS can be used to generate output to appropriate printers presently supported by idaPSS.

Print Resource Requirements

Use of the AFP output generated from the idaXFC conversion program requires access to AFP resources that are required to perform print formatting/and or conversion to print datastreams. It is assumed that the appropriate print resources that match the input datastream are available for subsequent print processing. Assistance with the conversion of print resources can be obtained by contacting the product distributor.

AFP Resources of the following types may be used in print processing:

•300 pel AFP Bounded box fonts.

•Associated code pages and coded fonts.

•Forms definitions

•Page overlays

•Page segments

A minimal number of fonts and codepages are provided with the product for installation verification.
