IBM S544-5285-01 - Manual (Page 124)

| Notes:
| 1. If the PAGEDEF parameter is not specified, and the print file contains
| line-mode data, ACIF reports an error condition and terminates processing.
| 2. If you specify PAGEDEF=DUMMY, and you do not include an inline page
| definition, ACIF reports an error condition and terminates processing.
| 3. A page definition is required for processing line-mode data. ACIF reports an
| error condition and terminates processing if it encounters a line-mode
| record, but no page definition was specified in a PAGEDEF parameter.
PDEFLIB= data set name1[,data set name2][,data set name...] (OS/390 and
MVS)
Specifies the files that compose the page definition library. A maximum of 8
files can be specified. The parameter also specifies the concatenation
sequence when ACIF searches for a particular page definition. ACIF first looks
for the resource in
data set name1. If ACIF cannot find the resource in data set
name1, it continues the search with data set name2, and so on, until it either
locates the requested resource or exhausts the list of specified files.
EXAMPLE
PDEFLIB=SYS1.PDEFLIB,USER.PDEFLIB
If USERLIB is also specified, ACIF searches for the resource in the files
specified in USERLIB before searching the files identified in PDEFLIB.
Notes:
1. The files must be specified as fully-qualified names without quotation
marks.
2. If the libraries specified for PDEFLIB are not specified in the same order
used by the PSF start-up procedure, the printed and converted results may
differ. For information on how PSF selects resources, refer to
PSF for
OS/390: Customization .
3. For systems before MVS/DFP Version 2.3, files must be concatenated with
the largest block size first.
| 4. This is a required parameter if the file contains any line-mode data and
| USERLIB is not specified. If this parameter is not specified, and the file
| contains any line-mode data, ACIF reports an error condition and
| terminates processing.
PDEFLIB= filetype1[,filetype2 ][,filetype...] (VM)
Specifies the file types that define the page- definition libraries. A maximum of
8 file types can be specified. The parameter also specifies the search order
when ACIF searches for a particular PAGEDEF resource. ACIF first looks for
the resource with a file type of
filetype1. If ACIF cannot find the resource with a
file type of filetype1, it continues the search with filetype2, and so on, until it
either locates the requested resource or exhausts the list of specified files.
EXAMPLE
PDEFLIB=PDEF38PP,TESTPDEF
