DJDE Record Specification Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)

• For change mode stacked reports, the DJDE parameters may be placed within the body
of the stacked report, where the DJDE records contain the same change field contents
as the report to which the DJDE applies.
• After a set of DJDEs is terminated by an END parameter, there must be one or more
data records before the next DJDE packet. DJDE records directly following a previously
terminated DJDE parameter set are ignored.
• If the file containing the DJDE is variable-blocked, the program that blocks the file may
strip off trailing blanks. Thus, if the comment record contains no actual comments, the
blank following the C may be eliminated. If the C is the last character of the record, the
parameter record is accepted. However, any character other than a blank following the
C causes the record to be processed as a legitimate DJDE record and not as a com-
ment.
• Print-and-skip carriage control parameters associated with online DJDE records are
treated as skip immediate carriage control parameters. If the LCDS-Module is not at the
channel specified, a skip occurs; but if it is already there, no skip occurs unless the last
carriage control parameter received was a print without spacing parameter. Print-and-
space carriage control parameters (as well as the print-without-spacing carriage control
parameter) associated with DJDE records are ignored.
• The printer carriage control (PCC) byte associated with offline DJDE records is ignored.
• If a DJDE is always created because of coding procedures, but there is no need to set
any of the DJDE parameters for a particular report, a null DJDE may be created with
only an END parameter and no other parameters specified, which will not modify any
of the existing job setup parameters.
• FORMS, FORMAT, and BFORM DJDE parameters can appear only once in the DJDE
packet.
