PDL principles and procedures 5. In the [Enter path or folder name:] text field, enter one of the following paths to the "lcds" folder: /opt/XRXnps/resources/lcds/ or /var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds/ NOTE: The file and folder names are case-sensitive. Be sure to enter the directory path exactly as it is shown above, with regard to uppercase and lowercase letters. Remember to include the slashes (/) at the beginning and end. The "lcds" folder, where the DFAULT.JSL and all other system LCDS resource files are stored, is the recommended folder for storing your JSLs. You have write access to this folder, which means you can add files and create new folders within it. 6. Enter the name of your new JSL in the [Enter file name:] text field at the bottom of the Text Editor - Save As window. Following are some rules for JSL names: • The name must end with the .JSL file extension. • The name must be one to six characters in length (not including the .JSL extension). CAUTION Be sure to give a new name to the JSL file that you have created. Otherwise, your new JSL may overwrite the default JSL in the "lcds" folder. (Overwriting can occur if you access the default JSL by selecting [Open] from the File menu on the Text Editor window instead of [Include]. Refer to step 7 of this procedure.) • Recommended: It is a good idea to use the same name for the JSL that you specified in the JDL or SYSTEM command at the beginning of the JSL coding. If the two names are the same, the JSL file name can be easily determined from the JDL file name in the future. 7. Click [OK]. Your new JSL is stored on the system disk. You can now close the Text Editor window. 8. Compile the JSL to create a JDL file. Refer to "Compiling a JSL" in this chapter for the procedure. Using LCDS Print Description Language 1-55
