PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE 6-51
•
The BTEXT report parameter(s) must precede the first BTEXT
page detail parameter. The ESS software does not check for
this. It is up to the user to code the application correctly.
•
Reports with multiple copies are not expected to be audited in
the normal course of operations, as in the case of check
printing; this implies multiple copies of checks.
•
To accommodate PDL record length constraints, BTEXT
commands that do not fit in one PDL record can span multiple
records by grouping parameters under separate BTEXT
commands.
Example:
MESSAGE BTEXT=’RNA=CK0409,CJN=HR0525’
BTEXT=’RRA=153249.37,NSE=2490’
BTEXT=’LDT=03-07-94,RSQ=Y’;
Note, however, that BTEXT parameters cannot span PDL
records. Every BTEXT parameter must start and end in the
same PDL record.
•
To accommodate short record lengths in the datastream, the
information to be communicated in a BTEXT command can be
placed into two or more consecutive DJDE records within a
DJDE packet.
Example:
$DJDE BTEXT=’RNA=CK0409,CJN=HR0525,
$DJDE RRA=153249.37,NSE=2490’,END;
•
The maximum length of all BTEXT strings within a DJDE packet
or in the JSL MESSAGE command is determined by the
following:
508 - N
Where N is the number of BTEXT commands in the JSL
MESSAGE command or DJDE packet.
Due to the string length limitations, it is imperative that BTEXT
strings not be padded with unnecessary blank characters.
Example 1:
$DJDE BTEXT=’RNA=CK0409,CJN=HR0525’,;
$DJDE BTEXT=’RRA=153249.37,NSE=2490’,
END;
In Example 1, the maximum length allowed for the BTEXT
string is: 508 - 2 = 506 (N is 2 as there are two BTEXT
commands).
Example 2:
MESSAGE BTEXT=’RNA=CK0409,CJN=HR0525’,
BTEXT=’RRA=153249.37,NSE=2490’,
BTEXT=’LDT=03-07-94,RSQ=Y’;
In Example 2, the maximum length allowed for the BTEXT
string is: 508 - 3 =505 (N is 3 as there are three BTEXT
commands).
•
The maximum length of each DJDE BTEXT string is 255.
•
Values for required BTEXT parameters not supplied in a DJDE
or JSL will be supplied defaults by the PC UI if defaults exist for
the parameter.
