3.10.1 Examples
This section shows examples of using the PDE command.
Example 1
PDE1: PDE
PMODE=LANDSCAPE,BEGIN=(.861,.7),FONTS=(L0112B,L01BOB);
PDE2: PDE
PMODE=PORTRAIT,BEGIN=(1.3,.37),FONTS=((P08TYA,6.8),P080AA,6.8);
LI: JDE;
OUTPUT FORMAT=PDE1;
P1: JDE;
OUTPUT FORMAT=PDE2;
Two PDEs are defined and referenced in separate JDEs. PDE1 specifies a landscape page
and two landscape fonts; PDE2 defines a portrait page and 2 portrait fonts with override line
spacing.
Example 2
2UP: PDE BEGIN=(.5 IN,.5 IN), BEGIN=(6.5 IN,.5 IN), PMODE=POR-
TRAIT,FONTS=P1012B;
Example of multiple BEGINs. Two logical pages are defined on one physical page.
Example 3
PDE99:PDE PMODE=PORTRAIT,BEGIN=(.10,0),FONTS=(P07ITA,P08OAA); END;
Example of a PDE that may be compiled by PDL separately from a JDL. After compilation,
a PDE object file is created in the PDE directory which then may be referenced from within
a JDL or by a DJDE. The name of the object file in the PDE directory is PDE99 (the same
as its identifier on the source command).
