SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES)

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE

8-11

After a set of DJDEs is terminated by an END parameter, there
must be one or more data records before the next DJDE
packet. DJDE records directly following a previously terminated
DJDE parameter set are ignored.

If the file containing the DJDE is variable-blocked, the program
that blocks the file may strip off trailing blanks. Thus, if the
comment record contains no actual comments, the blank
following the C may be eliminated. If the C is the last character
of the record, the parameter record is accepted. However, any
character other than a blank following the C causes the record
to be processed as a legitimate DJDE record and not as a
comment. Refer to the C text parameter in table 8-2.

Print-and-skip carriage control parameters associated with
online DJDE records are treated as skip immediate carriage
control parameters. If the LPS is not at the channel specified, a
skip occurs; but if it is already there, no skip occurs unless the
last carriage control parameter received was a print without
spacing parameter. Print-and-space carriage control
parameters (as well as the print-without-spacing carriage
control parameter) associated with DJDE records are ignored.

The printer carriage control (PCC) byte associated with offline
DJDE records is ignored.

If a DJDE is always created because of coding procedures, but
there is no need to set any of the DJDE parameters for a
particular report, a null DJDE may be created with only an END
parameter and no other parameters specified, which will not
modify any of the existing job setup parameters.

FORMS, FORMAT, and BFORM DJDE parameters can appear
only once in the DJDE packet.
