4.5.2 Examples
This section shows examples of using the BANNER command.
Example 1
The following commands define the BANNER criteria for a job stream with two trailer pages
and one header page. A character string of 120 asterisks beginning in print position one of
line 66 occurs on header and trailer pages.
T1: TABLE CONSTANT=(120)'*';
C1: CRITERIA CONSTANT=(0,120,EQ,T1),
LINENUM=(66,1);
BANNER TEST=C1, HCOUNT=1, TCOUNT=2,
HJOBNO=(121,6);
Example 2
If a job stream has two trailer pages with the character string DATE=mm/dd/yy appearing
on line 10 or 11 and beginning in print position 20, the BANNER criteria could be coded as
follows:
T2: TABLE CONSTANT=('DATE=::/::/::'), MASK=(':');
C2: CRITERIA CONSTANT=(19,13,EQ,T2),
LINENUM=(10,2);
BANNER TEST=C2, HCOUNT=0, TCOUNT=2;
Condition Parameter Result
The LCDS-Module posi-
tions to TOF after end-of-
report processing If TCOUNT = 0
If TCOUNT not 0 The page after the first header is positioned at
TOF.
The page after the last trailer is positioned at
TOF.
Running online with head-
er pages only as the offset
criteria TCOUNT = 0 Job parameters such as DJDEs and page num-
bering for a given report are applied to the first
header page of the following report.
The system encounters a
non-banner page TCOUNT = 0 The next banner page is treated as the first
header of a new report, even if HCOUNT is not
satisfied.
The system encounters a
non-banner page before
HCOUNT is satisfied HCOUNT not 0
and
TCOUNT not 0 The LCDS-Module assumes that the report has
fewer header pages than were specified and be-
gins looking for trailer pages.
