| Notes:
| 1. If the PAGEDEF parameter is not specified, and the print file contains
| line-mode data, ACIF reports an error condition and terminates processing.
| 2. If you specify PAGEDEF=DUMMY, and you do not include an inline page
| definition, ACIF reports an error condition and terminates processing.
| 3. A page definition is required for processing line-mode data. ACIF reports an
| error condition and terminates processing if it encounters a line-mode
| record, but no page definition was specified in a PAGEDEF parameter.
PDEFLIB=
data set name1
[,
data set name2
][,
data set name...
] (OS/390 and
MVS)
Specifies the files that compose the page definition library. A maximum of 8
files can be specified. The parameter also specifies the concatenation
sequence when ACIF searches for a particular page definition. ACIF first looks
for the resource in
data set name1
. If ACIF cannot find the resource in
data set
name1
, it continues the search with
data set name2
, and so on, until it either
locates the requested resource or exhausts the list of specified files.
EXAMPLE
PDEFLIB=SYS1.PDEFLIB,USER.PDEFLIB
If USERLIB is also specified, ACIF searches for the resource in the files
specified in USERLIB before searching the files identified in PDEFLIB.
Notes:
1. The files must be specified as fully-qualified names without quotation
marks.
2. If the libraries specified for PDEFLIB are not specified in the same order
used by the PSF start-up procedure, the printed and converted results may
differ. For information on how PSF selects resources, refer to
PSF for
OS/390: Customization
.
3. For systems before MVS/DFP Version 2.3, files must be concatenated with
the largest block size first.
| 4. This is a required parameter if the file contains any line-mode data and
| USERLIB is not specified. If this parameter is not specified, and the file
| contains any line-mode data, ACIF reports an error condition and
| terminates processing.
PDEFLIB=
filetype1
[,
filetype2
][,
filetype...
] (VM)
Specifies the file types that define the page- definition libraries. A maximum of
8 file types can be specified. The parameter also specifies the search order
when ACIF searches for a particular PAGEDEF resource. ACIF first looks for
the resource with a file type of
filetype1
. If ACIF cannot find the resource with a
file type of
filetype1
, it continues the search with
filetype2
, and so on, until it
either locates the requested resource or exhausts the list of specified files.
EXAMPLE
PDEFLIB=PDEF38PP,TESTPDEF
