QPQCHGCF parameter names and functions

QPQCHGCF has the following parameters:

Coded font name:

Specifies the name of the coded font to be marked. This is an 8-character input parameter.

Coded font library name

Specifies the name of the library containing the coded font. This is a 10-character input parameter.

You can use the following special value for the library name:

*LIBL

This indicates that the job's current library list will be used to search for the coded font.

Font character set name:

Specifies the name of the font character set to mark within the coded font. This is an 8-character input parameter.

The font character set name can be specified with the following special value:

*ALL

This indicates that all the font character set and code page pairs in the coded font are to be marked.

The font character set name can be a generic name. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, C0S0*. The asterisk substitutes for any valid characters. A generic name specifies all font character sets with names that begin with the generic prefix. If an asterisk is not included in the name, the system assumes it to be the complete font character set name. To change all the font character sets in a certain range, for example, C0G16F70 - C0G16F7F, you should specify C0G16F7* for the font character set name. Specifying C0G16F* would be the same as *ALL and change all the font character sets in the coded font (assuming all font character set names started with C0G16F0).

Resident font indicator:

Specifies whether the font character set is resident in the printer, or if it is not resident in the printer and needs to be downloaded by the system.

*NO: The font character set is not resident in the printer and needs to be downloaded by the system to the printer. Also, the font character set might be resident in the printer, but has been modified. In that case, *NO should be specified.

:PK *YES: The font character set is resident in the printer and does not need to be downloaded by the system to the printer.

• All IBM®-supplied coded fonts are shipped with the resident font indicator turned off. That means the entire font will be downloaded unless the QPQCHGCF program is run to mark the IBM-supplied sections as resident.
• The font character set and code page pair are treated the same for marking them resident or needing to be downloaded. If the font character set has changed, then the corresponding code page will also be marked as needing to downloaded. If the code page has been changed, then the corresponding font character will also be marked as needing to be downloaded.
