Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

FORM[S] DJDE

Specifies the form to be merged onto the printed pages. It takes effect on the next page boundary. The form specified is invoked beginning with the specified starting copy number. Multiple FORMS DJDEs may be used to associate different forms with different copy plies.

Type Page oriented

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

NOTE: When using this command, you must enter an entire

parameter: FORM or FORMS. Do not abbreviate to the first three letters, because system interprets “FOR” as FORMAT.

Option

Definition

 

 

 

 

formid

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

 

alphanumeric), which exists on the system disk.

 

 

init

If two or more forms are called out in succession, init specifies the first copy

 

number to which the next form applies. This defaults to the first or next copy. If

 

the copies parameter 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 that is specified, copies defaults to 1.

 

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.

 

 

NONE

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

 

 

FORM[S] DJDE: point to note

Because there is ambiguity between the abbreviated forms of the FORMAT and the FORM[S] DJDEs, if either is abbreviated to the first three letters, DJDE processing presumes FORMAT.
