Specifying print format parameters • The MAIN and AUX stocks and their preferred trays have already been defined in the operating system software when the printing system is delivered. However, you can change their specifications at the user interface, using the Stock Manager windows. (You cannot, however, delete them.) STOCKSET command example The STOCKSET command is similar to the PDE and CME commands, because it produces a file you can compile separately from the JDL. For each STOCKSET encountered before an initial JDL or SYSTEM command, PDL creates a file of the type .STK, which contains information about the stockset. You can then reference the .STK file in multiple JSL source files. BILLS: STOCKSET ASSIGN = ('F1302', COVER), ASSIGN = ('F1415',(BODY, SUMMARY)), ASSIGN = (('F6204', LATE), ('F9999', DISCON)), INIFEED = COVER, /*INIFEED='F1302' works as well*/ SYSPAGE = COVER;END; In the example above, a stockset called BILLS is created. • BILLS consists of four stocks: F1302, F1415, F6204, and F9999. • Stock references are created for these four stocks: COVER for F1302, BODY and SUMMARY for F1415, LATE for F6204, and DISCON for F9999. • In the absence of a specific parameter of the FEED command at the start of the report, INIFEED directs output to feed from the stock referred to by COVER. • A system page will print on the stock referenced as COVER. You could use this stock set in a billing application by coding an OUTPUT STOCKS = BILLS command in the JDE. Through successive FEED DJDEs, the stock set directs feeding the cover, body and summary, late notice, and disconnect pages from the stock referenced by COVER, BODY, SUMMARY, LATE, and DISCON, respectively. Alternatively, the FEED DJDE record could refer directly to stocks by name, such as FEED= 'F1302'. Note that the use of stock references is preferred over stock names, because stock references provide flexibility. Using LCDS Print Description Language 4-109
