Specifying print format parameters

OUTPUT FEED

• “FEED = stockreference” must refer to a stock assigned to a

parameter: points

stockname by the STOCKSET command that has been

to note

specified for the report.

 

• The MAIN stock is the default for system generated pages

 

and is used if no SYSPAGE stock is specified.

 

• The FreeFlow Print Server LCDS software comes with MAIN,

 

AUX, and AUTO stocks defined.

 

• If the OUTPUT FEED command and the RAUX command

 

specify two different stock names, RAUX has higher priority.

 

• The ‘stockname’ option bypasses the stock reference

 

feature, but it still requires that the stock name be specified in

 

the current STOCKSET command. (FEED=stockreference is

 

the recommended usage.)

 

OUTPUT FORMAT

 

Specifies a page descriptor entry (PDE) to be used in formatting

 

the printed output, such as location of starting print line for each

 

logical page on the physical page, font usage, and orientation.

Syntax

OUTPUT FORMAT = pdeid

 

NOTE: To ensure readability, enter the entire parameter

 

FORMAT. Do not abbreviate to “FOR.”

pdeid

page descriptor entry identifier

 

References a page descriptor entry that was either defined previously in the

 

JDL or catalogued as a separate file in the “lcds” resources folder on disk.

 

Refer to “Coding a JSL” in the “PDL principles and procedures” chapter for

 

information on creating and compiling PDE files using the XJDC processor.

 

 

Default FMT1

OUTPUT FORMAT Standard pdeids, such as FMT1 and FMT2, are defined in the parameter: point “PDE command” section, later in this chapter. These standard to note PDEs are delivered with the printing system software and may

be used unless a specialized PDE is required. The choice of active PDE may subsequently be replaced entirely or modified in part through DJDEs.
