The acif command examines the first six bytes of the first
line data record of the input file, to determine whether the
input file is ASCII or EBCDIC. If ACIF determines that the
input file is ASCII, ACIF looks for the ASCII newline
character (X'0A') to delimit the end of a record. If ACIF
determines that the input file is EBCDIC, ACIF looks for
the EBCDIC newline character (X'25') to delimit the end
of a record. If the input record is MO:DCA-P, no newline
character is required. The acif command does not include
newline characters in the MO:DCA-P data stream that
ACIF produces.
stream,
(newline=
X'nn')
newline is an optional subparameter of fileformat that is
used only with the stream parameter. You use newline to
specify a hexadecimal value for the newline character in
the input data file.
You can use newline when ACIF’s algorithm cannot
determine the correct newline character (if blanks are at
the beginning of the file, for instance). Or you can use
newline if you want to specify a newline character that is
not the standard default. For example, you could use
newline as follows:
fileformat=stream,(newline=X'D')
If newline is not specified, ACIF uses the algorithm
specified under fileformat=stream.
fontlib=
pathlist
Specifies the directories in which fonts are stored. The value is:
pathlist
Any valid search path. You must use a colon (:) to
separate multiple paths. The acif command searches the
paths in the order in which they are specified.
The acif command searches for the fonts in the following order:
1. The paths you specified with userlib, if any
2. The paths you specified with fontlib, if any
3. The paths you specified with reslib, if any
4. The paths specified by the PSFPATH environment variable
5. The directory /usr/lpp/psf/reslib
6. The directory /usr/lpp/afpfonts
7. The directory /usr/lpp/psf/fontlib

formdef=
fdefname
Specifies the file name of the form definition. A form definition defines
how a page of data is placed on a form, the number of copies of a
page, any modifications to that group of copies, the paper source, and
duplexing. The form definition is actually used at print time, not at
transform time. The value is:
