Decisions to make before creating your JSL
Before starting to develop the JSL for your application, there are
some key decisions you must make, based on your site-specific
needs and the design of the application.
Input data
In general, you should know this information about the input data
before creating the JSL:
•
The input source, such as the following:
— Host supporting the 3211 or 4245 host interface
— Reel-to-reel tape or cartridges, which are offline devices
— Host interface processor (HIP) connection, which is a high-
speed channel for data transmission to the LPS from any of
several other interfaces, including XNS, XPMF-VMS, and
XPF
— System disk
— Combination of two or more of these types.
•
Computer on which the data was created
• Block and record lengths and structure
• Code in which the data is encoded, such as ASCII and EBCDIC
•
How printer carriage control (PCC) information should be
processed
• For tapes or cartridges only, the label format used.
