Using LCDS Print Description Language

•

If a proportional pitch font is used, the starting column

number for printing the RTEXT is determined by using the

character spacing value for the space character in the

character font.

•

If RTEXT is specified along with COVER=(FRONT, SEP) or

(BOTH, SEP), the RTEXT pages are printed on the covers.

Front covers are picked only on copies for which there is

RTEXT. If RTEXT is specified in noncollate mode, only the

routing page for copy one is printed.

•

EBCDIC or hexadecimal strings (or hex defined bytes in a

character string) used in an RTEXT command are interpreted

as standard EBCDIC and are translated to extended ASCII.

•

Double byte font support:

Double byte text strings are

supported for the CME CONSTANT value if KCODE or

DBCODE is specified for the VOLUME command. The

maximum number of double byte characters is 127.

•

Catalogued RTEXT files:

When there are a large number of

RTEXT parameters, you should precompile them and store

them in the “lcds” resources folder, instead of including them

in a JDL. After they are compiled, you can access them from

either a JDL or a DJDE by using their object file names.

RTEXT parameters must be precompiled to be accessed with

a DJDE.

To catalog RTEXT parameters, you must include an identifier

of the type

ac

(at least one alpha character) in the ROUTE

command. This identifier is used to reference the RTEXT file

by means of the ROUTE RTEXT=

rtextid

parameter. If the

catalogued RTEXT is defined within a JSL, it is automatically

applied to that JDL.

The RTEXT file is catalogued if the ROUTE command has an

identifier, even if the ROUTE command is inside the portion

of the JSL that defines a JDL. (This is different from other

catalogued file creation such as PDEs or CMEs.)

An example of catalogued RTEXT usage is shown below.

ROUTEF1:

ROUTE

RTEXT=('USER1', 1, 33, 64),

RTEXT=('BLDG1', 1, 34, 64),

RTEXT=('USER2', 2, 33, 64),

RTEXT=('BLDG2', 2, 34, 64);
