Specifying print format parameters

LINE FCB

• If you specify FCB=PROCESS, an FCB load causes

parameter: points

positioning to TOF. If the system is already at TOF, page

to note

eject does not occur. However, if the line number before the

 

FCB load is greater than TOF, a page eject occurs.

 

• If you specify FCB=PROCESS and an FCB is sent from the

 

host, the later FCB overrides the previous FCB or VFU. Its

 

length replaces the previous BOF. Furthermore, its contents

 

and length are saved on the disk.

 

• If no Bottom Of Form is specified in the JDE, the length of the

 

last FCB sent from the host is retrieved from the disk and

 

becomes BOF. Note that Top of FORM (TOF) is not affected

 

by the FCB.

 

Non-U. S. markets only: The print position indexing (PPI)

 

byte of the FCB is suppressed.

 

LINE FDATA

 

Specifies the starting point of the file data from the beginning of

 

the user portion of a data record. This command can be used to

 

skip past information, such as a PCC byte that is not actually part

 

of the file data.
