USING LOGICAL PROCESSING
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE 7-43
Points to note
Note the following when using the RSUSPEND and RRESUME
commands:
• RSUSPEND
— Make sure that if an RSUSPEND command is coded, an
RRESUME command must also be present for the job. A
warning is issued by the PDL compiler if one command, but
not both, is invoked for a job. However, the JDE is
compiled as programmed.
— The RSUSPEND command is intended to suspend records
within a report.
•
RSTACK
— A record satisfying the RSTACK test can still be found and
terminates the report, even if the printing of records is
suspended at the time. Also, DJDE records are not
processed even if record printing has been suspended.
Refer to chapter 8, “Specifying dynamic job descriptor
entries (DJDEs),” for further information.
— A record satisfying the RSTACK criteria is still detected
and terminates the report and record suspension, even if
the printing of records was suspended at the time.
— If the criteria for RSTACK and RSUSPEND are satisfied on
the same record, that record delimits the report, and the
record is suspended.
• If a data record satisfying the test expression in the
RSUSPEND is encountered, printing is suspended. If no record
satisfying the test expression in the RRESUME command is
encountered (or no RRESUME command is present for the
job), there is no output generated for records that occur after
the point of suspension.
• Record selection or deletion is performed before suspend/
resume processing. If a record satisfying either the suspend or
resume test criteria was not selected for or deleted from printing
previously, it does not cause either the suspend or resume
function.
• The records just before print suspension and after resumption
should have compatible printer carriage control (PCC)
characters. No additional carriage control characters are
inserted by the system during the print suppression.
•
Use of the LINENUM parameter in the CRITERIA command is
not recommended when using RRESUME. Since the carriage
control characters are not processed during the print
suppression, the line number used by the system is that which
existed when the suppression started. This could result in the
test criteria being either unexpectedly satisfied or never
satisfied as a function of the line number where the print
suppression started.
• DJDE records are processed, not ignored, even when detected
after an RSUSPEND record and before the corresponding
RRESUME record.
