Specifying print format parameters OUTPUT FEED parameter: points to note • "FEED = stockreference" must refer to a stock assigned to a stockname by the STOCKSET command that has been specified for the report. • The MAIN stock is the default for system generated pages and is used if no SYSPAGE stock is specified. • The FreeFlow Print Server LCDS software comes with MAIN, AUX, and AUTO stocks defined. • If the OUTPUT FEED command and the RAUX command specify two different stock names, RAUX has higher priority. • The 'stockname' option bypasses the stock reference feature, but it still requires that the stock name be specified in the current STOCKSET command. (FEED=stockreference is the recommended usage.) OUTPUT FORMAT Specifies a page descriptor entry (PDE) to be used in formatting the printed output, such as location of starting print line for each logical page on the physical page, font usage, and orientation. Syntax OUTPUT FORMAT = pdeid NOTE: To ensure readability, enter the entire parameter FORMAT. Do not abbreviate to "FOR." Options Table 4-54. OUTPUT FORMAT parameter options and definitions Option pdeid Definition page descriptor entry identifier References a page descriptor entry that was either defined previously in the JDL or catalogued as a separate file in the "lcds" resources folder on disk. Refer to "Coding a JSL" in the "PDL principles and procedures" chapter for information on creating and compiling PDE files using the XJDC processor. Default FMT1 OUTPUT FORMAT parameter: point to note Standard pdeids, such as FMT1 and FMT2, are defined in the "PDE command" section, later in this chapter. These standard PDEs are delivered with the printing system software and may be used unless a specialized PDE is required. The choice of active PDE may subsequently be replaced entirely or modified in part through DJDEs. Using LCDS Print Description Language 4-55
