Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

Using LCDS Print Description Language

5-33

If the nonblank character that is appended at the end of the
records is not consistently present throughout the file, the
preceding DJDE packet is printed on an OPRINFO page with an
error message indicating that processing for the file “FILENAME
is being aborted due to a data error.
The system then deletes the partial file that was created and
proceeds to process the data as variable text data.
Refer to the “LPS tape label format” section of Appendix D for
information on the structure of LPS labeled tape.

File readiness

Files may be used by the LCDS processor as soon as they are
written to the “lcds” folder on the system disk. However, the files
become effective only when they are referenced by a DJDE. For
example, a font or form file becomes effective at the next page
boundary when a DJDE specifies the FORMAT or FORMS
parameter to invoke the new font or form file. If a file was
downloaded earlier in the report and has since been replaced,
the new file is not used until it is reinvoked by an appropriate
DJDE.

FONTINDEX DJDE

Specifies a location in the input record of an index into the
current font list. The font found in the list at the position indicated
by the index is used for printing.
