IBM S544-5285-01, User Manual, Page: 62 / 255

If you use pagedef to specify an inline page definition that is
different than the actual page definition used inline, the acif
command looks for the page definition in the page definition
search path instead of the inline page definition.
An input file can contain multiple page definitions, but only one page
definition can be used by the acif command. If a file contains more
than one inline page definition, and you specify pagedef=
pdefname,
ACIF uses the first inline page definition named pdefname. If a file
contains more than one inline page definition, and you specify
pagedef=dummy, the acif command uses the first inline page
definition in the input file.
parmdd= filename
Specifies the name or the full path name of a file that contains the
acif parameters and their values. If you specify the file name without
a path, the acif command searches for the file name in your current
directory.
You may find it convenient to put the acif parameters and values into
a file, so that you do not have to type all of them on the command line
whenever you use ACIF. Values are:
filename
The name of the file containing acif command parameters
and values.
Notes:
1. The beginning delimiter for comments is “/*.” For example:
formdef=F1TEMP /\ Temporary formdef
Comments can appear anywhere, but the acif command ignores
all information in the line following the “/*” character string. Also,
although the ending delimiter (“*/”) is shown in some examples, it
is not a required entry for ACIF.
2. Each parameter must be on a separate line. For example:
chars=GT1ð cctype=a /\ This is
not
allowed.
pdeflib= pathlist
Specifies the directories in which page definitions are stored. The
value is:
pathlist Any valid search path. You must use a colon (:) to
separate multiple paths. The acif command searches the
paths in the order in which they are specified.
The acif command searches for a page definition in the following
order:
1. The paths you specified with userlib, if any
2. The paths you specified with pdeflib, if any
3. The paths specified in reslib, if any
4. The paths specified by the PSFPATH environment variable
5. The directory /usr/lpp/psf/reslib
