Specifying input parameters

Using LCDS Print Description Language

Example 2

In this example, consecutive input codes, such as X’5B’ and
X’5C’, need not be specified to accomplish code modification.

CODE SPACECODE

Defines the blank (space) character code for the single-byte
character set.

Syntax

ac: CODE SPACECODE = spacecode,

Options

Default

X’20’(CODE=ASCII), X’40’(CODE not ASCII)

CODE

SPACECODE

parameter: point

to note

SPACECODE must be specified after the DEFAULT parameter.
If SPACECODE is specified before DEFAULT, the spacecode
value is overwritten by X’20’ or X’40’.

Hexadecimal output option strings (such as X’20’), as well as text
string constants (for example, a), are not translated before being
put into the code assignment table. Therefore, you should keep
ASCII or, more precisely, the encoding of the fonts that will be
used, in mind when you use hexadecimal strings.

DBCODE command

Defines a double-byte character code translation table.

When you require a user defined translation table of double-byte
character codes, you define the double-byte character translation
using the DBCODE command, then reference this command
using the VOLUME DBCODE parameter. As an alternative, you
can use the USER option of the VOLUME DBCODE parameter
to reference the DBCODE command for which no identifier was
provided.

CODE

DEFAULT=EBCDIC,
ASSIGN=(X'5A',(X'20',X'20',
X’20’));
