<p>The Create AFP Data (CRTAFPDTA) command provides the following functions:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Convert line data or AFPDS line data into AFPDS data. Input is a spooled file.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Index a document to enhance one's ability to view, archive, or retrieve individual pages or groups of pages from large documents. The document index is written to a stream file. The input data may be line, AFPDS line or AFPDS.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Retrieve and package AFP resources needed for viewing a document. The resources are written to a stream file. The input data may be line, AFPDS line or AFPDS.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Merge the above-mentioned stream files so that the spooled can be viewed on a workstation using the AFP Viewer.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Input is taken from a spooled file. Output is to one or more stream files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Note: </b>The following values are obtained from the spooled file attributes, they cannot be specified on CRTAFPDTA: Control character, Table reference characters and DBCS SO/SI spacing.

<h3>Index trigger definition (IDXTRG)</h3>
|

<p>Specifies the locations and values of data fields within the input file that are to be used to define indexing groups in the file. These data fields are referred to as triggers, because their presence in the file triggers a processing action. The number of IDXTRG specifications required to uniquely identify the beginning of a group of pages within the file depends on the complexity of the application output. The first IDXTRG specification is special. Each record in the file containing the value specified in the first IDXTRG specification is referred to as an indexing anchor record.
|

<p>This parameter is only valid if TOIDXSTMF has a value other than *NONE.

</p>
|

<dl>

<dt><b><i>record-number</i></b></dt>
|

<dd>Specifies the relative record number from the indexing anchor record. The anchor record is the first IDXTRG specification in the list of IDXTRG values. After the first IDXTRG specification has been found, all other IDXTRG specifications are specified as a relative offset from the first IDXTRG specification.

</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><b>column-number</b></dt>
|
|
<dd>A value ranging from 1 to 32756. A value of 1 refers to the first byte in the record. For files containing carriage control characters, column 1 refers to the carriage control character. CRTAFPDTA compares the trigger-value to the input data. If the specified value exceeds the physical length of the record, CRTAFPDTA considers the comparison "false" and continues processing.
|

</dd>
|

<dt><b>*</b></dt>

<dd>The record is scanned from left to right, looking for the trigger-value.
|
|
</dd>
|

</dl>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><b><i>trigger-value</i></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies the actual alphanumeric (case-sensitive) or hexadecimal value of the trigger. CRTAFPDTA does not perform any validity checking on this value, but uses it in performing a byte-for-byte comparison with the records in the file. The trigger-value can be from 1-250 bytes in length. If the combined values of column and the trigger-value length exceed the physical length of the record, CRTAFPDTA considers the comparison "false" and continues processing.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>A maximum of four IDXTRG values may be specified. CRTAFPDTA will number each trigger based on the sequence in which they are specified. For example, if a message indicates an error with respect to 'Index trigger definition number 4', a reference is being made to the fourth trigger in the series of triggers you specified.

<h3>Index field definition (IDXTAGFLD)</h3>

<dl>
|

<dt><b><i>record-number or literal-value</i></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies either the relative record number from the indexing anchor record or a literal value. When CRTAFPDTA indexes a file, it uses the information specified in the IDXTRG parameters to determine a page-group boundary. When all the specified IDXTRG values are true, CRTAFPDTA defines the indexing anchor record as the record where the first IDXTRG definition is located. The first IDXTRG definition becomes the reference point from which all indexing information is located.
|
|
<p>You may specify either a record number or literal value.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A record number value specifies the relative record number from the indexing anchor record. If you specify a record number, you must also specify the column and length fields. To specify a record number, enter the number without quotes.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>A literal value specifies a constant value. Literal values do not have column or length values associated with them. You may not specify column and length values when specifying a literal value. To specify a literal numeric value, enclose the value in apostrophes. If the value begins with a non-numeric value, quotes are not needed.
|

</li>

</ul>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><b><i>column</i></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>The byte offset from the beginning of the record. A value of 1 refers to the first byte in the record. For files containing carriage control characters, column 1 refers to the carriage control character. For those applications that use a specific carriage control character to define page boundaries (for example, skip to channel 1), consider defining the value of the carriage control character as one of the IDXTRG parameters. If the specified value exceeds the physical length of the record, CRTAFPDTA reports an error condition and terminates processing.
|
|
<p>Specify a column number only when a record number has been specified.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><b><i>length</i></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>The number of contiguous byes (characters) starting at the value specified for column that compose this field.
|
|
<p>The field can extend outside the record length, as long as the column where it begins lies within record length. In this case, CRTAFPDTA adds padding blanks (X'40') to fill out the record. If the field begins outside the maximum length of the record, CRTAFPDTA reports an error condition and terminates processing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Specify a length only when a record number has been specified.

<p>A maxiumum of 16 fields can be defined. Each field is numbered automatically by CRTAFPDTA based on the sequence in which you specify the values, starting with the number 1.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may use IDXTAGFLD definitions as part of an index definition using the IDXTAG parameter. For example, if you wish to reference the third IDXTAGFLD specification when specifying an IDXTAG, then you must specify *IDXTAGFLD3.

<h3>Index tag definition (IDXTAG)</h3>
|

<p>Specifies the content of the indexing tags for the entire file.

</p>
|
|
<p>If literal values are specified for every IDXTAG specificaiton, CRTAFPDTA treats the entire file as one page group and uses this information to index the document. CRTAFPDTA stops processing the input file if literal values are specified for all IDXTAG parameters and if any IDXTRG parameters are also specified.

<dd>Specifies a user-defined attribute name to be associated with the actual index value. For example, assume the first IDXTAG definition is a person's bank account number. The string 'account number' would be a meaningful attribute name. The value of IDXTAG would be the account number (for example, 1234567). Think of the attribute name as a label for the actual index value. The attribute name is an EBCDIC character string from 1-250 bytes in length. CRTAFPDTA does not perform any validity checking on the contents of the attribute name.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><b><i>field</i></b></dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies one or more IDXTAGFLD defininitions that compose the index value. A maximum of 16 IDXTAGFLD definitions can be specified. If more than one IDXTAGFLD definition is specified, CRTAFPDTA concatenates them into one physical string of data. No delimiters are used between the concatenated fields. Because an IDXTAG value has a maximum length of 250 bytes, the total of all specified IDXTAGFLD definitions for a single index cannot exceed this length. CRTAFPDTA reports an error condition and terminates processing if this occurs.
|
|
</dd>
|

</dl>
|
|
<p>A maximum of 8 indexes can be defined, and each index can be made up of more IDXTAGFLD definitions.
|

</p>
|
|
<p>For identification purposes, CRTAFPDTA will number each index tag based on the sequence in which they are specified. For example, if a message indicates an error with respect to 'Index tag definition number 2', a reference is being made to the second index in the series of index tags you specified. You will need to specify index tag values by number (i.e, *IDXTAG1) for the IDXGRP parameter.

<p>This parameter is helpful if your file contains header pages. You can specify a page number one greater than the number of header pages, so that CRTAFPDTA will continue to look for matches for the number of pages specified for this parameter.
