Specifying print format parameters

OUTPUT FORMS

Specifies forms to be associated with the report copies. Different forms may be associated with different copies of a report by the use of multiple FORMS left parts in the same OUTPUT command.

Syntax OUTPUT FORMS = {NONE formid (formid [, init [, copies]]) [, (INKS, inkref1 [,inkref2] ...)])}

NOTE: To ensure readability, enter the entire FORMS parameter. Do not abbreviate to “FOR,” because the system interprets “FOR” as FORMAT.

formid

Specifies a 1 to 6 character form file name (may be numeric, alpha, or

 

alphanumeric) that already exists on the system disk.

 

Forms can be coded at a workstation with forms creation software such as

 

Elixir, or on another LPS using Xerox Forms Description Language (FDL), and

 

transferred to the print server disk by importing it via diskette, tape, or CD.

 

Refer to “Importing LCDS resources” in the “PDL principles and procedures”

 

chapter for the procedure.

 

 

init

Specifies the first copy number to which the specified form applies. This

 

defaults to the first or next copy.

 

If neither init nor copies is specified, the form applies to all copies of all data

 

pages of the report.

 

 

copies

Specifies the number of copies to which the form applies.

 

If the copies option is not specified, the last (or only) specified form applies to

 

all copies beginning with the init copy number.

 

If the form is not the last one specified, copies defaults to 1.

 

 

NONE

Means that no form is added to the associated report page of variable data.

 

 

inkref

Ink reference.

 

Identifies the inks that override the corresponding inks that are specified in the

 

ink list of the form. If a form does not contain an ink list, the form is printed in

 

black.

No default
