CRITERIA command
The basic element used to describe a test for a logical function is the
CRITERIA command. Each CRITERIA command describes a field in
either a record or block and the specific test to be performed. The
CRITERIA command requires an identifier that can be specified in
any of the logical processing commands, as a TEST parameter. The
definition of the TEST parameters for logical processing commands
is described in the “Test expressions ”section.
Specific TEST parameters are described in the individual logical
processing command sections.
A CRITERIA command may use any or all of its three parameters to
specify the conditions which must be met in order for a given
operation to be completed. A JSL may contain any number of
CRITERIA commands which you can specify for a particular print job
by calling out the appropriate CRITERIA identifier. For example, the
following criteria are specified at the system level:
T1: TABLE MASK=’?’,CONSTANT=’HE?DE? PAGE’;
C1: CRITERIA CONSTANT=(1,11,EQ,T1),
LINENUM=(1,10);
T2: TABLE CONSTANT=’TRAILER PAGE’;
C2: CRITERIA CONSTANT=(0,12,EQ,T2),
LINENUM=(1,10);
Criteria C1 and C2 are then specified at the job level:
HDRP: JOB;
BANNER TEST=C1,HCOUNT=2,TCOUNT=0;
TRLP: JOB;
BANNER TEST=C2,HCOUNT=0,TCOUNT=3;
BOTH: JOB;
BANNER TEST=(C1 OR C2),HCOUNT=2,TCOUNT=3;
