Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

GRAPHIC DJDE: points to note

Other than name, none of the parameters may be used if the specified graphic is document interleaved, nor should name normally be used if the graphic is referenced by an IMAGE DJDE.

If the graphic is page interleaved, the remaining parameters may be used exactly as on the IMAGE DJDE (except for the T parameter). If these parameters are specified in the GRAPHIC DJDE and also on one or more IMAGE DJDEs that reference the same graphic, the graphic is imaged on the page once for each reference.

Document and page interleaved graphics: If no textual data has been previously encountered, the graphic specified in the GRAPHIC DJDE is document interleaved and is copied to a .IMG type disk file.

If textual data has been encountered previously, the graphic is page interleaved and the previous print record should have caused a page transition. If not, the occurrence of this DJDE forces an immediate page termination, and the next print record encountered is processed relative to TOF (Top of Form) on the next physical page.

An interleaved graphic that immediately follows a header banner page is treated as document interleaved. The header banner page must be defined by a BANNER command. Skip carriage control commands on a graphics sentinel DJDE are ignored.

Graphic file replacement and deletion: If an image file with the specified name already exists in the “lcds” resources directory, it is superseded by the new one. However, it is not replaced immediately. If a new file will be retained beyond the scope of the current report processing (as indicated by the OUTPUT PURGE parameter or the SAVE DJDE), the new file is stored in (and replaces existing files in) the “lcds” resource folder when processing of the report is complete.

NOTE: The “lcds” folder can be accessed from either of the following Unix directory paths:

/var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds/ or

/opt/XRXnps/resources/lcds/
