PDL principles and procedures

Specifying overrides while a job is printing

Hierarchy within a job descriptor library (JDL)

If you want to specify late binding overrides that will immediately take effect on a job that is currently printing, do the following:

1.Click [Pause Printing] on the Print Services window to halt printing.

2.Follow the procedure for specifying late binding attributes, described in the previous section.

Example:

The following example illustrates a situation in which you might want to use a late binding attribute on a job that is currently printing:

As a large job starts to print, you notice that the printed sheets are going to the sample tray. You know that the sample tray is not large enough to accommodate the entire job. On the Queue Properties window, you click the [Output] tab, then select a stacker bin from the menu in the Output group box. You click the [Override] check box, then click [OK] at the bottom of the Output window.

When you resume printing, the output immediately starts going to your selected stacker bin.

The following sample JSL for online printing contains three JDEs or jobs. The VOLUME CODE parameter, which specifies the encoding of the input data, appears in four places:

1.According to the system command level (or JDL) command set, the default encoding of the input data is ASCII (VOLUME CODE=ASCII).

2.According to the catalog command level, the encoding of the input data is EBCDIC (VOLUME CODE=EBCDIC).

3.According to the commands for job 2, the encoding of the input data is Printable EBCDIC (PEBCDIC). The PDL command VOLUME CODE=PEBCDIC overrides both catalog and system command level definitions.

4.In Job 3, the encoding of the input data is EBCDIC, because the INCLUDE parameter of the JOB command specifies the CATGRP catalog which, in turn, specifies EBCDIC in its VOLUME command CODE parameter.
