3.8 Summary of OUTPUT Command Parameters
The OUTPUT command controls the organization and format of a report. This includes con-
trols of the number of copies of a report, the forms to be printed with the variable data, report
offsetting, and the use of simplex or duplex mode. Many graphics features may be invoked
with this command.
BFORM This parameter prints a form on the back side of a duplex data page. In
association with the duplex printing mode DUPLEX=YES, a page con-
taining only a form (no variable data can be printed with this page) may
be printed on the back side of a user page. This feature can be used to
print static data on the back of each page in a report without the use of
DJDEs or the repetitive processing of that data. Different forms may be
associated with different copies of a report by the use of multiple
BFORM left parts on the same OUTPUT command. If BFORM specifi-
cations include some, but not all, copies of a report, those copies not in-
cluded have blank back sides, that is, no form.
COLLATE This parameter specifies whether pages are to be collated or uncollated.
COPIES This parameter specifies the number of report copies to be printed.
COVER This parameter specifies that cover pages are to be picked from the AUX
cluster. These cover pages may be placed at the front or back of each
copy of report. The cover will be printed on the normal paper for CF-
printers
CYCLEFORMS This parameter specifies a set of forms to be associated with report pag-
es in a cyclical fashion. Refer to the examples at the end of this section.
DUPLEX This parameter specifies whether printing is to occur in duplex (Print on
both sides of a sheet) or simplex (print on a single side).
FACEUP This parameter specifies faceup delivery of pages.
FEED This parameter controls the stock on which the page is printed. For fan-
fold printers there is only one stock, for cutsheet printers different stocks
can be selected.
FORMAT This parameter specifies a page descriptor entry (PDE) to be used in for-
matting the printed output, such as location of starting print line for each
logical page on the physical page, font usage, and page orientation.
FORMS This parameter specifies forms to be associated with the report copies.
Different forms may be associated with different copies of a report by the
use of multiple FORMS left parts on the same OUTPUT command.
GRAPHICS This parameter specifies how graphics are to be processed in a job.
