Object containers are used to carry non-Object Content Architecture (OCA) objects in an AFP™ data stream. Some such objects are Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images. There are different ways to include them in your data, depending on your installation and how you want to use them.
With the AFPRSC keyword, you can reference a print resource stored in the integrated file system, including an object container.
You can specify at most 10 object containers per page of data. When using object containers, you must ensure that the device to which you send the data supports the type of object included. Also, the system searches for object containers differently than how it searches for other objects. The search method is described in the documentation of the Data description specifications (DDS) AFPRSC keyword.
