Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

Card image file processing

Files that are transferred with a D (delete) option are deleted as soon as the report is processed, and therefore must not be referenced in a subsequent report.

NOTE: The FILE DJDE does not allow a file to be replaced if the file is a system permanent file. System permanent files have a $ in their names.

When card image files are transferred, the following occurs:

1.The system checks the FILE DJDE for valid parameters, and responds to errors as follows:

If the destination filetype is not acceptable for a card image file, the preceding DJDE packet is printed on an OPRINFO page with an error message that indicates the file type is wrong. The system then proceeds to read and discard the extent of the file.

If the file name is improperly specified, the preceding DJDE packet is printed on an OPRINFO page with an error message that indicates that the file name is wrong. The system then proceeds to process the data as variable text data.

If the system reads more card image records than the maximum number of card images specified by the DJDE, it discards the extra records. The preceding DJDE packet is printed on an OPRINFO page with an error message indicating that the excess card file images were lost.

If the file cannot be created due to insufficient space on the disk, the preceding DJDE packet is printed on an OPRINFO page with an error message indicating there is not enough space on the disk for the file being downloaded. The system then proceeds to read and discard the file.

2.The system makes an appropriate amount of disk space available for the file. If the file contains errors that preclude printing or storage, the system discards the file.

3.The system reads the card image file records. When the system reads a card image file record, it uses record delimiters (if any) to determine record length. Only the data portion of a record is used for file processing.
