Points to note
Note the following when using the VOLUME command:
•
The character code assignment tables in appendix C
summarize the label specifications that are valid for each host
type. If a selected HOST type is inconsistent with a selected
LABEL type, an error message is output by PDL, and a valid
label is automatically substituted. The LABEL parameter of the
VOLUME command should not be coded in cases where it is
not appropriate for a particular host type.
•
A JDL is supplied with the printing system software to dump the
contents of a tape. Six standard tape formats may be dumped
with this JDL (H6000 BCD, EBCDIC, ASCII, H2000 BCD, IBM
BCD, UNIVAC FIELDATA). Check the listing of the DUMP.JSL
file to determine the appropriate JDE for the tape to be dumped.
Other tape formats may be dumped by specifying the host-type
(DUMP or OCTDUMP) and appropriate parameters, such as
CODE and UNPACK, in a user-coded JDL.
•
The MAXLAB and MINLAB on a 4 by 3 packed format tape are
the number of 6-bit bytes or characters in the tape blocks that
are treated as labels.
•
Input data is translated according to the CODE parameter
option selected on the VOLUME command. Any character
which is translated into an ASCII X’20’ is truncated after the last
significant (non-ASCII X’20’) character in the print record.
•
When running a CODE=NONE job with DUPLEX=YES and
SHIFT=YES, MARGIN must be specified in
m inches.
For example:
m=-V
2
-BEGIN-ALI + .01
Table 4-62 lists the components of this example and their
definitions.
If
m is computed as less than or equal to zero, MARGIN should be
specified as zero or ignored altogether. Failure to do so results in
printing blank even-numbered pages (back sides). Note that varying
the margin does not alter the appearance of the printed page
because of the absolute positioning information embedded in the
data.
Table 4-62.
Example components and definitions
Component Definition
m
Positive decimal number of the form nnn.dd (up to
two digits to the right of the decimal point)
V
2
Even (back) side shift value in inches
BEGIN
Scan line in inches as specified in the PDE (hpos in
portrait, vpos in landscape)
ALI

equivalent, 3 scans=.01 in.)
