Using LCDS Print Description Language

If a proportional pitch font is used, the starting column
number for printing the RTEXT is determined by using the
character spacing value for the space character in the
character font.

If RTEXT is specified along with COVER=(FRONT, SEP) or
(BOTH, SEP), the RTEXT pages are printed on the covers.
Front covers are picked only on copies for which there is
RTEXT. If RTEXT is specified in noncollate mode, only the
routing page for copy one is printed.

EBCDIC or hexadecimal strings (or hex defined bytes in a
character string) used in an RTEXT command are interpreted
as standard EBCDIC and are translated to extended ASCII.

Double byte font support: Double byte text strings are
supported for the CME CONSTANT value if KCODE or
DBCODE is specified for the VOLUME command. The
maximum number of double byte characters is 127.

Catalogued RTEXT files: When there are a large number of
RTEXT parameters, you should precompile them and store
them in the “lcds” resources folder, instead of including them
in a JDL. After they are compiled, you can access them from
either a JDL or a DJDE by using their object file names.
RTEXT parameters must be precompiled to be accessed with
a DJDE.
To catalog RTEXT parameters, you must include an identifier
of the type ac (at least one alpha character) in the ROUTE
command. This identifier is used to reference the RTEXT file
by means of the ROUTE RTEXT= rtextid parameter. If the
catalogued RTEXT is defined within a JSL, it is automatically
applied to that JDL.
The RTEXT file is catalogued if the ROUTE command has an
identifier, even if the ROUTE command is inside the portion
of the JSL that defines a JDL. (This is different from other
catalogued file creation such as PDEs or CMEs.)
An example of catalogued RTEXT usage is shown below.

ROUTEF1: ROUTE

RTEXT=('USER1', 1, 33, 64),
RTEXT=('BLDG1', 1, 34, 64),
RTEXT=('USER2', 2, 33, 64),
RTEXT=('BLDG2', 2, 34, 64);
