<div class="section"><p>To generate spooled files that will print on certain printers
|
|||
|
|
attached to the server, an SNA Character Stream (SCS) data stream must be
|
|||
|
|
created. (SCS is a text-based, EBCDIC data stream that can be printed on SCS
|
|||
|
|
printers, IPDS™ printers,
|
|||
|
|
or to PC printers.) SCS can be printed by converting it using an emulator
|
|||
|
|
or the host print transform on the server.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>You can use the SCS writer
|
|||
|
|
classes to generate such an SCS data stream. The SCS writer classes convert Java™ Unicode
|
|||
|
|
characters and formatting options into an SCS data stream. Five SCS writer
|
|||
|
|
classes generate varying levels of SCS data streams. The caller chooses the
|
|||
|
|
writer that matches the final printer destination to which the caller or end
|
|||
|
|
user will be printing.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Use the following SCS writer classes to generate
|
|||
|
|
an SCS printer data stream:</p>

<p>To construct an SCS writer, the caller needs an output stream and,
|
|||
|
|
optionally, an encoding. The data stream is written to the output stream.
|
|||
|
|
To create an SCS spooled file, the caller first constructs a SpooledFileOutputStream,
|
|||
|
|
and then uses that to construct an SCS writer object. The encoding parameter
|
|||
|
|
gives a target EBCDIC coded character set identifier (CCSID) to convert the
|
|||
|
|
characters to.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Once the writer is constructed, use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SCS5256Writer.html#WRITE(CHAR[], INT, INT)"> write()</a> methods to output text. Use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SCS5256Writer.html#CARRIAGERETURN()"> carriageReturn()</a>, <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SCS5256Writer.html#LINEFEED()"> lineFeed()</a>, and <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SCS5256Writer.html#NEWLINE()"> newLine()</a> methods to position the write cursor on the
|
|||
|
|
page. Use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SCS5256Writer.html#ENDPAGE()"> endPage()</a> method to end the current page and start a
|
|||
|
|
new page.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>When all of the data has been written, use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SCS5256Writer.html#CLOSE()"> close()</a> method
|
|||
|
|
to end the data stream and close the output stream.</p>
