5.4.1 Loading from the mainframe to the FCB

The forms feed information must be loaded in the FCB before

feed, except

when an LF, FF, or CR control code is specified.

The data loaded in the FCB is used for forms feed control by the VT or FF code

the FCB command transferred just after the print data.

Following to the start code

the forms feed data is sent in Z-byte

units for every line and is terminated by the stop code

Figure 6.10

shows an example of loading the data in the FCB.

The channel data for the first line consists of 2 bytes

after the start

code.

Data for the second line is the next 2 bytes.

Data for a maximum of 176

lines can be loaded in the FCB (356 bytes).

The TOF (channel

is set just

after the start code and also 2 bytes just before the stop code.

If the number

of bytes loaded is odd or exceeds 356 bytes,

the Fault signal is set to 1 and

the STATUS indicator shows the error contents.

If the TOF code is issued in the middle of the FCB data stream, the TOF code is

ignored until the stop code is issued.
