Restrictions for online dumps

The DATA segment consists of the input data in hexadecimal transmitted from the host and printed in hexadecimal and ASCII. The data is translated based on the value specified in the CODE command.

Online dumps have the following restrictions:

•DJDEs, BANNER, and other logical processing functions are not processed when the dump job is running.

•Hardware errors are reported in the system error log, but are not dumped due to host, OLI, or driver interface constraints.

•Commands processed when input is stopped, as when paper trays become empty, are not dumped.

•Print records that are longer than the RECORD LENGTH parameter value that is specified in the online dump (OLDUMP) JDL are truncated without warning. If records longer than 150 bytes are to be sent, the RECORD LENGTH parameter in the OLDUMP JDL should be modified to the longer length.
