Specifying print format parameters LINE FCB parameter: points to note • If you specify FCB=PROCESS, an FCB load causes positioning to TOF. If the system is already at TOF, page eject does not occur. However, if the line number before the FCB load is greater than TOF, a page eject occurs. • If you specify FCB=PROCESS and an FCB is sent from the host, the later FCB overrides the previous FCB or VFU. Its length replaces the previous BOF. Furthermore, its contents and length are saved on the disk. • If no Bottom Of Form is specified in the JDE, the length of the last FCB sent from the host is retrieved from the disk and becomes BOF. Note that Top of FORM (TOF) is not affected by the FCB. • Non-U. S. markets only: The print position indexing (PPI) byte of the FCB is suppressed. LINE FDATA Specifies the starting point of the file data from the beginning of the user portion of a data record. This command can be used to skip past information, such as a PCC byte that is not actually part of the file data. Syntax LINE FDATA = (offset, termination) Options Table 4-29. LINE FDATA parameter options and definitions Option Definition offset The starting point of the line data. termination The terminating byte of the record. The options are: • DEFAULT - If online, a single terminating byte exists. - If offline, no terminating byte exists. • n: The number of terminating bytes that exist Default offset: 0 termination: DEFAULT Using LCDS Print Description Language 4-27
