Xerox FreeFlow manual RTEXT=ROUTE1, Route command example, Stockset command

Specifying print format parameters

After the above commands are compiled by PDL, a .TST file is created. In the example above, the file would be named “ROUTE1.TST.” You can then access this file by name with the ROUTE command (RTEXT= rtextid) from a JDL or with a DJDE. For this example, the RTEXT parameter would be coded as follows:

RTEXT=ROUTE1,

You must specify RFORM, if it is needed, along with the reference to the RTEXT file (RFORM is never catalogued with RTEXT). This allows you to select different RFORMs in different JDEs with the same RTEXT information.

ROUTE command example

Following is an example of how to use the ROUTE command:

ROUTE RTEXT=(‘USER1',1,33,64),

RTEXT=('USER2',2,33,64);

The text USER1 and USER2 will print in the center of a page preceding the respective copies of a two copy report. The page is 132 columns by 66 lines.

STOCKSET command

The STOCKSET command defines a set of stocks to be used in a report. Stocksets are also the means of associating stock references with stock names. For the FreeFlow Print Server LCDS systems, a stockname or stockreference functions the same as a cluster does on other Xerox laser printing systems. Stock names and associated trays are specified at the print server, using the Stock Manager windows.

An identifier of the type ac (at least one alpha character) is specified to name the stock set. This identifier is used (referenced) by the OUTPUT STOCKS parameter in JSLs to select that group of stocks.
