OVERPRINT DJDE: points to note

The OVERPRINT DJDE normally takes effect on the next
record following an END DJDE. If FONTINDEX has been
invoked in a JDE or DJDE, OVERPRINT takes effect at the
next logical page boundary.

OVERPRINT options are the same as for the LINE
OVERPRINT parameter.

FONTINDEX and OVERPRINT: When used in conjunction
with OVERPRINT, FONTINDEX is handled as follows:
– For OVERPRINT=PRINT, the printing system overprints

records analogously to an impact printer if the fonts are
the same size. If the fonts differ, records are overprinted
without regard to character spacing.

– For OVERPRINT=MERGE, the system replaces blank

characters in the previously printable line, if this print
record overprints the line. Character spacing values are
adjusted; thus, proportionally spaced or different size
fonts may be used, and the system performs the
character placement.
Blank characters in the previous printable line are
replaced only when they are translated using the CODE
table into an ASCII X’20’ or into a character value greater
than that of the highest character in the specified font.
