PDL principles and procedures

Using LCDS Print Description Language

1-69

If the JSL compiles correctly with no errors, the JDL object

file is created from the JSL, and a message is displayed in

the Terminal window, indicating that the compilation was

successful.

The system places the newly created JDL file (along with the

.LST and .RSC files that are created at the same time) in the

“lcds” resources folder where your JSL is located.

4.

If the JSL does not compile correctly, correct any errors in the

JSL and recompile it.

Files produced by the compilation procedure

When XJDC compiles a JSL, it produces the following files:

•

Object file (JDL):

The JDL, which contains all the

information from the JSL, but in a format the system can

read. If the JSL was compiled successfully, the object file, or

Job Descriptor Library file, is created. The JDL file name is

the identifier that is specified by the JDL command that starts

the JSL. It has a .JDL extension.

NOTE:

If you compile one of the other file types (other than a

JSL) that are supported by the XJDC compiler, the file

extension could be .CME, .IDR, .LIB, .PDE, .STK, or .TST. Its

file name is the name that is specified by the first command in

the file; that is, the CME, IDR, LIB, PDE, STK, or TST

command.

•

JSL Source Listing file:

Shows the JSL as you coded it, but

with the lines and columns numbered. Also indicates the

location of any errors, along with messages explaining the

errors. The Source Listing file name is the same as the JSL

name, except that it has a .LST extension.

•

Resource Listing file:

Contains a list of the resources that

are specified in the JSL, such as font names and form

names. The Resource Listing file name is the same as the

JSL name, except that it has a .RSC extension.

•

Log file:

Contains all messages that were displayed on the

screen during compiling. This file is appended each time

XJDC is invoked, and it is placed in the following directory:

/opt/XRXnps/XRXxjdc/data/

The Log file name is “XJDC.LOG.”
