Table 7-1 lists each parameter and its description.
Example: STA 21,POWGRP,M,2,REPORTS:1,3-5,2 means start to
process or print from the JDE called 21, the JDL file called POWGRP,

Table 7-1. START command parameters and descriptions
Parameter Description
START Specifies the command, to be followed by any or
all of the specifications as needed (often
abbreviated as STA).
jde The name or number of the job descriptor entry,
which may be up to six characters in length.
jdl The name or number of the job descriptor library
which contains the jde used. The name or
number may be up to six characters in length.
S Single report mode processes only one report at
a time. Use this mode when changes must be
made to the job specification from one report to
the next. The system assumes multiple report
mode if you insert a comma instead of S or M.
M Multiple report mode means that the LPS
continuously processes all reports in the job.
Processing automatically sequences from report
to report, volume to volume, until all reports are
processed. The system assumes multiple report
mode if you insert a comma instead of S or M.
copies The requested number of prints for each report.
REPORTS:
r1,r2 Allows you to specify the sequence and set of
reports to be processed. In the example that
follows, the LPS was directed to print the first
report, then the third through the fifth, and finally
the second. The system assumes you want
prints of all the reports if you do not use this
option. You are not required to use a comma if
the REPORTS option is not used.
TD n Specifies the tape device being used.
Notes:
1. The tape device identifications are set up
during sysgen. Refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint 180
LPS System Generation Guide for additional
information.
2. You cannot select a tape device when you
have selected DISC or FORM.
DISC: file-
name.filetype
Indicates you want to print a file stored on the
system disc.
FORM= Form-
name.Frm
Indicates you want to print a form stored on the
system disc.
