<h4 id="rzaluspecialcafpds">Special printer file considerations for AFP data stream</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the device type (DEVTYPE) parameter for the printer file is *AFPDS,
|
||
|
|
certain considerations apply to some printer file parameters and to the sending
|
||
|
|
of spooled files to other systems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Considerations for printer file parameters</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Overflow (OVRFLW) parameter
|
||
|
|
<p>Overflow is not signalled for externally
|
||
|
|
described printer files (DDS) for record formats that use absolute positioning.
|
||
|
|
In addition, overflow is determined by using the margin offset down value.
|
||
|
|
For example, if the margin offset down value is .5 inches, the overflow line
|
||
|
|
is line 60, and the lines per inch value is 6, overflow is signalled when
|
||
|
|
line 60 is printed on the page. This is 10.5 inches down the page.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Character Identifier (CHRID) parameter
|
||
|
|
<p>The CHRID parameter of the printer
|
||
|
|
file is ignored if a font character set (FNTCHRSET) or coded font (CDEFNT)
|
||
|
|
parameter is specified. One exception to this is if a file contains UCS-2
|
||
|
|
data that will be converted to EBCDIC data. In this case, the CHRID parameter
|
||
|
|
determines the target conversion CCSID.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Page Rotation (PAGRTT) parameter
|
||
|
|
<p>Overlays, page segments, and resources
|
||
|
|
stored in the integrated file system are not automatically rotated based on
|
||
|
|
the PAGRTT parameter of the printer file.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Page Size (PAGESIZE) parameter
|
||
|
|
<p>If the unit of measure is *ROWCOL, and
|
||
|
|
either a coded font or font character set is specified on the printer file,
|
||
|
|
the page width is calculated using 10 characters-per-inch.</p></li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Considerations for sending an AFP data stream spooled
|
||
|
|
file to another system</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because the actual printer device is not known when a spooled file is created,
|
||
|
|
some parameters specified on the printer file cause a default setting to be
|
||
|
|
used in the created spooled file. This is done to provide values in the data
|
||
|
|
stream of the spooled file in the event it is sent to another system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On the system the spooled file was created on, the correct values (as determined
|
||
|
|
for the printer you want the spooled file printed on) are substituted before
|
||
|
|
the spooled file is printed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following parameters cause a default setting to be used: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>If CHRID(*DEVD) or an externally described printer file is used, the Graphic
|
||
|
|
character set/Code page (QCHRID) system value is substituted.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If FONT(*DEVD) is used, font 11 is substituted.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If FORMFEED(*DEVD) is used, drawer 1 is substituted.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If PAGRTT(*DEVD), PAGRTT(*AUTO), or PAGRTT(*COR) is used, page rotation
|
||
|
|
of 0 is substituted.</li></ul>

<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>On iSeries™ servers, offset stacking of printed output is used. As the job
|
||
|
|
finishes, the paper tray moves, offsetting the stack of paper to make it easier
|
||
|
|
to distinguish between finished jobs. Because of this, the data stream that
|
||
|
|
is created on the iSeries server contains the control to indicate that offset
|
||
|
|
stacking should be used. If the spooled file is sent to a system that does
|
||
|
|
not support offset stacking, an error message might be issued.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use of the DDS DRAWER and PAGRTT keywords cause the i5/OS to generate
|
||
|
|
an AFP data stream that is not completely supported by the AFP™ viewer and some
|
||
|
|
of the PSF products available on other IBM® platforms. If the spooled file needs to
|
||
|
|
be viewed by the AFP viewer or printed on other IBM platforms, do not use the DRAWER and PAGRTT
|
||
|
|
keywords in DDS. Use the INVMMAP keyword instead to change the drawer or page
|
||
|
|
rotation within the spooled file.</li>
