PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE

BFORM

This parameter prints a form on the back side of a duplex data page.
In association with the duplex printing mode DUPLEX=YES, a page
containing only a form (no variable data can be printed with this page)
may be printed on the back side of a user page. This feature can be
used to print static data on the back of each page in a report without
the use of DJDEs or the repetitive processing of that data. Different
forms may be associated with different copies of a report by the use
of multiple BFORM left parts on the same OUTPUT command. If
BFORM specifications include some, but not all, copies of a report,
those copies not included have blank back sides, that is, no form.

This option consists of:

form-id
Specifies a one-to-six character file name (may
be numeric, alpha, or alphanumeric) which
exists on disk. This file is created by compiling a
forms description language source file, which is
called an FSL file, with the FDL system task
(refer to the

Xerox LPS Forms Creation Guide).

A

form-id may be the keyword NONE.

init
If the copies parameter is not defined, the last
(or only) form specified will apply to all copies
beginning with copy number init. If the form is
not the last one specified, copies defaults to 1. If
neither init nor copies are specified, the form
applies to all copies of the report. Note that init
copies is only valid offline.

copies
Specifies the number of plies (passes) to which
a specified form applies.

NONE
Specifies that no form is to be added to the
associated report page of variable data. init
parameter specifies the beginning ply (pass)
number to which a specified form applies. This
defaults to the first or next copy.

The default is NONE.
