<h4 id="rzaluruc">Replace unprintable characters</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can replace unprintable characters in your data before the data is
|
||
|
|
written to the printer or to a spooled file by specifying RPLUNPRT(*YES) on
|
||
|
|
the CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, or OVRPRTF command. The replacement of an unprintable
|
||
|
|
character depends on the printer being used and the hexadecimal value of the
|
||
|
|
unprintable character.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The RPLUNPRT value must be selected before the spooled file is created.
|
||
|
|
Once a spooled file is in an output queue, changing the RPLUNPRT value has
|
||
|
|
no effect on that particular spooled file. </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>When RPLUNPRT(*YES) is specified, any characters in the range hex 00 through
|
||
|
|
hex 3F, and hex FF, are replaced. The default replacement character is a blank.
|
||
|
|
The character that a printer cannot print varies depending on the type of
|
||
|
|
printer.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When RPLUNPRT(*NO) is specified, no translation of the data stream is
|
||
|
|
made. Any characters in the range hex 00 through hex 3F, or hex FF, might
|
||
|
|
cause undesirable results. These characters are in the range used by printer
|
||
|
|
control characters.
|
||
|
|
<p>For most characters in this range, the printer signals
|
||
|
|
an unrecoverable error and the spooled file either is held in the output queue
|
||
|
|
or is not processed. Some characters in this range control forms action and
|
||
|
|
character representation on the printer and, as a result, additional skipping
|
||
|
|
or spacing might occur. If control characters are placed in the data, system
|
||
|
|
functions such as displaying or copying spooled files and restarting or backing
|
||
|
|
up a printer might produce results that cannot be predicted.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the
|
||
|
|
hexadecimal value of the unprintable character is hex 40 through hex FE, a
|
||
|
|
message is sent to the message queue associated with the printer. The message
|
||
|
|
gives you the option to end the writer, hold the spooled file, ignore the
|
||
|
|
error and continue printing, or select a page number where printing should
|
||
|
|
be restarted. If the ignore option is taken, then unprintable characters
|
||
|
|
continue to be reported. If the option to start again (specify page number)
|
||
|
|
is taken, all unprintable characters are replaced with blanks and you receive
|
||
|
|
no more notification for unprintable characters.</p></li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Considerations for the 4245, 5262, 6252, and 6262 printers</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The printer translates lowercase characters to uppercase characters when
|
||
|
|
using a print band that does not contain lowercase characters. If your print
|
||
|
|
job contains other characters that are not on the print band, they can be
|
||
|
|
translated to blanks by specifying RPLUNPRT(*YES) for the printer file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A print band is selected by switches on the 5262 operator's panel.
|
||
|
|
The operator must select both a language ID and a band image using these
|
||
|
|
switches.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The 4245, 6252, and 6262 Printers detect the print band the printer is
|
||
|
|
using.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When a print band changes for a print job, no inquiry message is sent to
|
||
|
|
the message queue associated with the printer writer. You can specify a different
|
||
|
|
form type for that job, such as blank payroll forms or blank invoices. A
|
||
|
|
message to change the form type is sent to the printer writer message queue
|
||
|
|
to notify the operator of the change to the print band.</p>
