<h3 id="rzau6consider">Considerations and restrictions when using line data</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Application considerations</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To use line data, first determine whether your application generates an
|
||
|
|
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) control character in column 1
|
||
|
|
of your spooled output. If your application does generate an ANSI control
|
||
|
|
character as described, specify CTLCHAR(*FCFC) and DEVTYPE(*LINE) on the printer
|
||
|
|
file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If your application does not generate an ANSI control character in column
|
||
|
|
1 of your spooled output, change your application to do so. To change your
|
||
|
|
application, use a language or application construct (such as a SKIP or SPACE
|
||
|
|
option on a COBOL WRITE statement), or make an RPG output specification. If
|
||
|
|
your application cannot generate ANSI control characters, specify CTLCHAR(*NONE)
|
||
|
|
and DEVTYPE(*LINE) on your printer file. The operating system will use control
|
||
|
|
information to generate machine code control characters in your data.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Specifying a page definition and form definition</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When using line data, you can specify various combinations of DEVTYPE(*LINE),
|
||
|
|
PAGDFN, and FORMDF parameters on the printer file:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">If you specify DEVTYPE(*LINE), PAGDFN and FORMDF</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When you print to an Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) printer, Print Services Facility™ (PSF) uses the PAGDFN
|
||
|
|
and FORMDF parameters to transform the data to Intelligent Printer Data
|
||
|
|
Stream™ (IPDS™).
|
||
|
|
<p>When you print to a non-AFP printer, the PAGDFN and FORMDF
|
||
|
|
parameters are ignored. The other parameters on the printer file are used
|
||
|
|
and the line data is transformed to IPDS or SNA Character Stream (SCS).</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">If you specify DEVTYPE(*LINE) and FORMDF (no page definition)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When you print to an AFP printer, an inline page definition is built from the
|
||
|
|
printer file parameters. PSF uses the form definition and the inline page
|
||
|
|
definition to transform the data to IPDS.
|
||
|
|
<p>When you print to a non-AFP printer,
|
||
|
|
the FORMDF parameter is ignored. The other printer file parameters are used
|
||
|
|
and the line data is transformed to IPDS or SCS.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">If you specify DEVTYPE(*LINE) and PAGDFN (no form definition)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When you print to an AFP printer, an inline form definition is built from the
|
||
|
|
printer file parameters. PSF uses the page definition and the inline form
|
||
|
|
definition to transform the data to IPDS.
|
||
|
|
<p>When you print to a non-AFP printer,
|
||
|
|
the PAGDFN parameter is ignored. The other printer file parameters are used
|
||
|

|

</dd>
|

|
|
<dt class="bold">If you specify DEVTYPE(*LINE) only (no page definition or form
|
||
|
|
definition)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When you print to an AFP printer, an inline page definition and an inline form
|
||
|
|
definition are built from the printer file parameters. PSF uses the inline
|
||
|
|
form definition and the inline page definition to transform the data to IPDS.
|
||
|
|
<p>When you print to a non-AFP printer, the printer file parameters
|
||
|
|
are used and the line data is transformed to IPDS or SCS.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="bold">When specifying DEVTYPE(*AFPDSLINE)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>The support for combinations of DEVTYPE(*AFPDSLINE), PAGDFN, and FORMDF
|
||
|
|
are similar to DEVTYPE(*LINE) line data. However, you should be aware of these
|
||
|
|
exceptions:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The spooled file must be printed on an AFP printer. When you send data to a non-AFP
|
||
|
|
printer, the data cannot be transformed to IPDS or to SCS.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> You are not required to specify a page definition or form definition
|
||
|
|
with *AFPDSLINE data because they can be built inline. However, certain Advanced Function Presentation data stream (AFPDS) commands
|
||
|
|
in the data stream (for example, Invoke Medium Map) might reference named
|
||
|
|
structured fields in the page definition or form definition that do not match
|
||
|
|
those in the inline page definition and form definition.</li></ul>
