You should specify the same value for the ovlylib parameter to the
acif command as specified to PSF for AIX. In this way, the search
paths and resources used at transform time are identical to the search
paths and resources used at print time. For information on how PSF
for AIX selects resources, refer to
IBM Print Services Facility for AIX:
Print Administration
.
pagedef=
pdefname
Specifies the file name of the page definition. A page definition
defines the page format that the acif command uses to compose the
input file into pages. The page definition is actually used at transform
time, not at print time. The value is:
pdefname
Any valid page definition file name. The
pdefname
can be
one to eight alphanumeric or national characters,
including the two-character prefix, if there is one. The
pdefname
is case-sensitive.
Note: If the file name of the page definition includes a
file extension, do not use the file extension when
specifying the page definition. For example, to use
a page definition named memo.Pdef38PP, specify
pagedef=memo.
The acif command does not require a page definition when indexing
an AFP data stream file. However, ACIF does require a page
definition to transform an input file that contains S/370 line data,
mixed-mode data, or unformatted ASCII data into MO:DCA-P. If you
are transforming such an input file, and you do not specify pagedef=,
or if you specify pagedef= without a page definition file name, the acif
command will not work.
The page definition you use may be located:
In an AIX directory
Inline in the file (that is, within the file itself)
If the page definition file is in an AIX directory, use the userlib
parameter or pdeflib parameter to specify the path to the file. For
example:
pagedef=memo userlib=/usr/afp/resources
or
pagedef=memo pdeflib=/usr/lib/pagedefns
If the page definition is an inline resource, you must do the following:
Specify cc=yes to indicate that the file contains carriage-control
characters.
Specify pagedef=
pdefname
, where
pdefname
is the name of the
inline page definition; or specify pagedef=dummy.
If you specify pagedef=dummy but the file does not include an
inline page definition, the acif command looks for the page
definition named dummy.
