<h3 id="rzaluprogramexmp">Example: Using a program-described printer file with an application
|
|
program</h3>
|
|
<p>This example shows how an application program calls and uses a program-described
|
|
printer file to control how your printed output will look.</p>
|
|
<p>This example consists of:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>An RPG-coded application program that produces mailing labels.</li>
|
|
<li>A printer file that is opened by the application program when the application
|
|
program runs.</li>
|
|
<li>A detailed listing of which parameters from the printer file are used
|
|
by the application program and at what point during the processing of the
|
|
application program they are used.</li></ul>
|
|
<p>This is the RPG-coded application program. The numbers within the program
|
|
correspond to the list on the following pages. That list explains how this
|
|
program works and specifically how the program opens and uses the printer
|
|
file.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Part <span class="bold">(1)</span> opens the printer file.</li>
|
|
<li>Part <span class="bold">(2)</span> sends the output to the designated output
|
|
queue.</li>
|
|
<li>Part <span class="bold">(3)</span> closes the opened files.</li>
|
|
<li>Part <span class="bold">(4)</span> processes the data.</li>
|
|
<li>Part <span class="bold">(5)</span> provides the code to control how the printed
|
|
output will look.</li></ul>

<p><span class="bold">Open processing</span></p>
|
|
<p></p><blockquote>Part <span class="bold">(1)</span> of the application program opens files
|
|
that are called by the application program.
|
|
<p>When a program opens files,
|
|
an object of type *FILE is connected to the program for processing. Among
|
|
the files opened in this example, and of particular interest at this point,
|
|
is the printer file whose name is LABELPRT. You can find the printer file
|
|
name LABELPRT next to the <span class="bold">(1)</span> in the program listing.</p>
|
|
<p>A printer file is opened to prepare the system so that the application
|
|
can put data into a spooled file or print it out directly to a printer. Information
|
|
from the high-level language application program, the printer file, and any
|
|
printer file overrides is combined.</p>
|
|
<p>The printer file open operation
|
|
is controlled by parameters specified in the printer file, the high-level
|
|
language program, and in printer file overrides (through the Override with
|
|
Printer File (OVRPRTF) command). See <a href="rzaluoverride.htm#rzaluoverride">Printer file overrides</a> for more
|
|
information on overrides.</p>
|
|
<p>As an example, if the printer file specified
|
|
lines per inch (LPI) of 8, and an OVRPRTF command specified an LPI of 6, the
|
|
LPI of 6 would be used since the override value specified by the OVRPRTF command
|
|
takes precedence over the LPI value specified in the printer file.</p>
|
|
<p>The following list contains parameters from the printer file LABELPRT. These
|
|
are the parameters that the application program accesses or looks at when
|
|
it opens the printer file. They are the majority of the parameters in the
|
|
printer file, but not all of them. When the application looks at each parameter,
|
|
it finds a value specified for each parameter. For a description of each
|
|
parameter, see the Create Printer File (<a href="../cl/crtprtf.htm">CRTPRTF</a>)
|
|
CL command. </p>

the operations of reading, compiling, and sending the output to the output

queue specified in the OUTQ parameter of the CRTPRTF command or to the printer
|

specified in the DEV parameter of the CRTPRTF command. In this example, the

SPOOL parameter has a value of (*YES). This means the output will become a

spooled file in the designated output queue.

<p>The following printer file

parameters are the CRTPRTF parameters looked at by the system program and

application program during the output processing portion of the application

program. For a description of each parameter, see the <a href="../cl/crtprtf.htm">CRTPRTF</a> CL command.</p>
|
|
<p>This example does not use a DDS source file.
|
|
Thus, when the application program calls the printer file LABELPRT and looks
|
|
at the SRCFILE parameter, the value will be *NONE. Since no DDS will be used,
|
|
the high-level language must provide the programming to control how the printed

output will look. This example contains the high-level language code in part <span class="bold">(5)</span> of the example program listing.</p>
