Options

Table 8-15 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).

Considerations

If bottom-of-form (BOF) is altered by DJDE to a line number smaller
than the current line from which the DJDE was processed, input
effects an immediate page transition. If carriage control action to
perform at BOF is specified as OVR (the default), input spaces from
TOF a number of lines equal to the difference between its location at
DJDE and the new BOF. Refer to the PCC ASSIGN command in
chapter 5 regarding alternate BOF parameters.
