Valid values are 1 - 255 and *E1 as follows: <dl><dt class="dlterm">1</dt> <dd>The paper is fed from the first drawer on the sheet-feed paper handler.</dd> <dt class="dlterm">2</dt> <dd>The paper is fed from the second drawer on the sheet-feed paper handler.</dd> <dt class="dlterm">n</dt> <dd>The paper is fed from the nth drawer on the sheet-feed paper handler.</dd> <dt class="dlterm">*E1</dt> <dd>The envelope is fed from the envelope drawer on the sheet-feed paper handler.</dd> </dl> </div> <p>You can specify the drawer number as a constant or a program-to-system field. When you specify the drawer number as a program-to-system field, the field must exist in the same record format as the DRAWER keyword. It must be defined as a length of 4, data type A and usage P.</p> <p>If you do not specify the DRAWER keyword, the value specified on the DRAWER parameter of the CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF or OVRPRTF command determines the paper source drawer.</p> <p>DRAWER is ignored at run time if it is not specified on a page boundary. The printer is on a page boundary when no named or constant fields are processed for a page. As soon as a named or constant field is processed, the printer is no longer on a page boundary. The printer is on a page boundary again when a SKIP, SPACE, or ENDPAGE keyword is processed that causes the printer to move to a new page.</p> <div class="p">DRAWER, SKIP, and SPACE keywords are processed in the following order: <p>SKIPB<br /> SPACEB<br /> DRAWER<br /> SPACEA<br /> SKIPA</p> </div> <p>DRAWER is in effect only for the record format specified. After records with the specified record format are processed, the paper-source drawer for the next record format (if the DRAWER keyword is not specified) is the drawer specified at the file level (CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, or OVRPRTF command).</p> <p>For files created with DEVTYPE(*SCS), if the DRAWER keyword is specified on a record format that spans several pages, it remains in effect only for the page on which it is specified.</p> <p>You cannot specify DRAWER on the same record format with the CPI keyword or a record-level DFNCHR keyword. If any format in the file contains both DRAWER and either CPI or a record-level DFNCHR keyword, the file is not created.</p> <p>Option indicators are valid for this keyword.</p> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Only one drawer keyword for each record format is valid at any time. Even with option indicators, it is not valid to specify more that one drawer keyword per record format.</div> </div> <div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4><p>The following example shows how to specify the DRAWER keyword.</p> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> By using the code examples, you agree to the terms of the <a href="codedisclaimer.htm">Code license and disclaimer information</a>.</div> <pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8 00010A R RECORD1 SKIPB(3) 00020A FIELD1 10 1SPACEA(1) 00030A FIELD2 5 1SPACEA(1) 00040A 00050A R RECORD2 DRAWER(2) 00060A FIELD3 5 1 00070A FIELD4 5 6SKIPA(1) 00080A 00090A R RECORD3 DRAWER(2) 00100A FIELD5 10 1SPACEA(1) 00110A FIELD6 10 1SKIPA(1) 00120A FIELD7 10 1SPACEA(1) 00130A FIELD8 10 1SPACEA(1) 00140A 00150A R RECORD4 00160A FIELD9 10 1SKIPB(30) 00170A FIELD10 10 21 00180A R RECORD5 SKIPB(3) 00190A FIELD11 10 1SPACEA(1) 00200A FIELD12 10 1SPACEA(1) 00210A R RECORD6 SKIPB(1) DRAWER(&FIELD14) 00220A FIELD13 10 1 00230A FIELD14 4 P</pre> <p>The printer is not on a page boundary after record format RECORD1 is processed. When record format RECORD2 is processed, DRAWER is ignored and paper continues to come from the source drawer previously specified (file level). Because SKIPA(1) is specified for FIELD4 of RECORD2, the printer is on a page boundary after RECORD2 is processed. The paper for both pages of RECORD3 comes from drawer 2. The paper source for record formats RECORD4 and RECORD5 is the drawer specified at the file level (drawer 1 in this example). But because RECORD4 starts in the middle of a page, it prints on the same page as RECORD3 (drawer 2). Record format RECORD5 prints on a different page (SKIPB(3)) and prints on paper from drawer 1. RECORD6 allows the application program to specify the drawer-number by setting field FIELD14.</p> </div> </div> <div> <div class="familylinks"> <div class="parentlink"><strong>Parent topic:</strong> <a href="rzakdmstprkey.htm" title="See the valid keyword entries for defining printer files in this topic.">Keyword entries for printer files (positions 45 through 80)</a></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
