3.10 Summary of PDE Command Parameters
The PDE command specifies a page descriptor entry (PDE) which defines formatting infor-
mation for each page of a report. This formatting information includes page orientation
(landscape or portrait), location of the beginning print line for each logical page, and the
fonts to be used.
You must specify an identifier (of type ac) when defining the PDE and reference it with the
FORMAT parameter of the OUTPUT command. The PDE command must precede the
OUTPUT command.
PDEs may be coded as part to the JDL or created as separate files so that they may be
referenced by one or more JDLs or by DJDEs. PDEs are called out on the FORMAT pa-
rameter of the OUTPUT command or a DJDE FORMAT parameter. PDEs must be precom-
piled to be accessed by a DJDE. Standard PDE specifications are provided during installa-
tion.
A PDE created as a separate disk file may be used as if it were part of the JDL that refer-
ences it. This is done by creating a JSL file containing only PDE commands and using the
PDL processor to compile it.
BEGIN
This parameter specifies the location of the starting print line of a logical
page for graphics and alphanumerical data. The vpos parameter specifies
the vertical position of the first character of the first print line on the logical
page. It may be specified in inches (IN) or centimeters (CM). The default
is inches.
FONTS
This parameter specifies the fonts to be used in printing variable input
data and CME data.
PMODE
This parameter specifies the printing mode for each physical sheet.
