Xerox D63-069-00 manual Modifying the XES Forms Data Definition Reference

Modifying the XES FORMS Data Definition Reference

If the default DDNAME reference to the location of XES forms is not suitable, it can be modified using the DDNAME Entry. The DDNAME label contains the DDNAME reference that will be used by the XES transform when XES forms are requested.

Note: Use of XES forms may not apply to your installation.

Modifying the Default User Defined Key

The Default UDK (User Defined Key) is used within XES print jobs to override the standard escape sequence. The specified value may vary from installation to installation. The DEFUDK entry is used to alter the default value used by the program. If no UDK will be used, the default value (X'1B') should be replaced with a space.

Modifying the Sixel Decoding Table

The XES datastream can contain non-printable text fields used to represent font and pic- ture data in sixel format. Sixel encoding is used to eliminate the problem of font/image data being interpreted as characters or commands. Fonts are typically provided in sixel format, however you installation may use their own code routines to reconvert font or image data to other sixel encoding. If this is the case, you may need to modify the default supplied sixel to binary decoding tables.

The TRTAB Entry point is used to start the definition of translate table from sixel format to binary encoding. All codepoints from 00 to FF are supplied in this table.

Changing the Character Mapping and Language

The idaXFC converts the XES datastream input to a common ISO codepage 500 based format. This applies to XES datastreams in ASCII (e.g. ESC ESC format) and EBCDIC for- mat. From the ISO codepage, selection of the language specific character selection is per- formed using the default language or XES language commands.

The default EBCDIC language or codepage can be selected by modifying the DEFLANG entry to include the appropriate language number as required.
