Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs) Printer carriage control and DJDEs Printer carriage control processing may differ if it is associated with DJDEs. Use of certain PCC parameters in conjunction with DJDEs affects what those parameters do. The following table shows what to expect from those PCC parameters when DJDEs are present. Table 5-3. Interaction of DJDEs with printer carriage control parameters Carriage control parameter Processing with DJDE Print and Skip (online) Treated as a Skip Immediate carriage control parameter. • If the printer is not at the channel specified, a skip occurs. • If the printer is at the specified channel, no skip occurs unless the last carriage control parameter received was a Print Without Spacing parameter. Print and Space Ignored Print Without Spacing Ignored Print and Skip (offline) Ignored Types of DJDEs There are two types of DJDEs: page oriented and record oriented. Page oriented DJDEs Page oriented DJDEs change the look of subsequent pages within a report, and can change these pages differently on different copies. • If DJDE parameters are placed within the report itself, they take effect at the next page boundary. (They can take effect on the current page if no data has yet been printed on it.) 5-10 Using LCDS Print Description Language
