Xerox FreeFlow PCC Assign parameter points to note, ASSIGN=X’60’, SP1, SP2, SP3, PCC Default

Specifying input parameters

PCC ASSIGN parameter: points to note

•You need not specify consecutive byte values. For example, you can code the following command as a single command:

ASSIGN=(X’60’, SP1), ASSIGN=(X’61’, SP2), ASSIGN=(X’62’, SP3);

The single command is:

ASSIGN=(X’60’, SP1, SP2, SP3));

•If byte translation is specified under the PCC LINE parameter (that is, the LINE PCC parameter TRAN option is specified), the PCC control byte is translated into standard EBCDIC before being applied. Refer to Appendix C, “Character Code Assignments,” in this guide. In this case you must specify the byte option of the ASSIGN parameter as an EBCDIC translation of the PCC byte; for example, X’F1’ or ‘1’.

•PCC codes should not be reassigned when the system is printing online, because the carriage control codes are converted to 3211 codes (whose functions are specifically defined) before they are sent. Any special PCC byte assignments are ignored for online printing, and the defaults that were defined for PCCTYPE=IBM3211are used.

PCC DEFAULT

Allows you to select a set of printer carriage control codes.

You can select a table and then modify specific control codes by using the ASSIGN parameter.

Syntax [ac:] PCC DEFAULT = {ccln pcctype}

Options

Option	Definition
ccln	Specifies the required action when a character code has not been specifically
	assigned. The assignment codes for various actions are described in the ccln
	option description of the ASSIGN parameter. The system default PCC tables
	are defined using standard EBCDIC characters.
