Specifying print format parameters

Refer to “Importing LCDS resources” in the “PDL principles and procedures” chapter for the procedure for copying resources to the /opt/XRXnps/resources/lcds/ folder from elsewhere within the Unix file system.

NOTE: When you modify a CME source file, you must recompile it with the xjdc command. It is not necessary to recompile the associated JDLs.

When a CME is referenced in a JDL that does not contain that CME, the system searches the “lcds” folder for the CME file (which has the file type extension .CME). The CME file is then loaded into memory for use in processing the report.

The MODIFY DJDE can also be used to dynamically associate a catalogued CME file with report processing.

NOTE: CMEs must be catalogued as separate disk files if they are referenced by a MODIFY DJDE.
