Using LCDS Print Description Language 4-27
LINE FCB
parameter: points
to note
• If you specify FCB=PROCESS, an FCB load causes
positioning to TOF. If the system is already at TOF, page
eject does not occur. However, if the line number before the
FCB load is greater than TOF, a page eject occurs.
• If you specify FCB=PROCESS and an FCB is sent from the
host, the later FCB overrides the previous FCB or VFU. Its
length replaces the previous BOF. Furthermore, its contents
and length are saved on the disk.
• If no Bottom Of Form is specified in the JDE, the length of the
last FCB sent from the host is retrieved from the disk and
becomes BOF. Note that Top of FORM (TOF) is not affected
by the FCB.
• Non-U. S. markets only: The print position indexing (PPI)
byte of the FCB is suppressed.
LINE FDATA
Specifies the starting point of the file data from the beginning of
the user portion of a data record. This command can be used to
skip past information, such as a PCC byte that is not actually part
of the file data.
Syntax LINE FDATA = (offset, termination)
Options
Default offset: 0
termination: DEFAULT
