Batch mode
Online processing of batch mode reports, except for media-imposed
differences, is the same as for magnetic tape.
The input data stream format must comply with the following rules:
•
Even though a JDE specifying batch mode is in effect, the first
graphic must be preceded by a DJDE specifying
BATCH=START. The last graphic must be followed
immediately by a DJDE specifying BATCH=END. These batch
stream delimiters are necessary to distinguish banner page
data (header and trailer) from graphic data.
•
Except for the graphics themselves, the input stream may
contain only optional DJDE IMAGE records. When a DJDE
IMAGE record is encountered, it defines scaling and positioning
parameters for subsequent graphics. The actual batch mode
data stream is defined by the BATCH=START and
BATCH=END DJDEs.
•
There is no change in the maximum record length when
processing batch mode graphic records. However, every record
within the graphic must be terminated by a byte containing an
appended terminating character which is the same for all
records of the graphic. If a batch mode graphic record is
encountered which does not have the same terminating
character as the first record of the graphic, the user has the
option of aborting or continuing the report. If the report is
continued, the graphic is unprintable and the results may be
unpredictable.
Document interleaved graphic file transfers
The document interleaved format copies graphics down the channel
from the host to LPS .IMG files. This is done by running a document
interleaved report containing a trivial amount of text using a JDE
whose OUTPUT command specifies graphics with PURGE=NO.
This function is available for offline use also.
Management of image files
To produce print files consisting of interleaved textual and image
data, the LPS file id must be saved in ASCII in the LPS 128-byte file
label.
