SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES)
8-30 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE
Points to note
Note these points when using the BTEXT command:
• If RNA (report name) is not specified, no audit logging is
performed.
• Bar code text that prints on the pages is placed in the job
stream by the application to enable barcode features.
• Although the BTEXT command can be placed in the JSL, it will
usually be placed in a DJDE as most of the parameters will be
unique to a job. When placed in the JSL, it is specified under
the PDL MESSAGE command.
Example: MESSAGE BTEXT=’RNA=CK0409’;
• Unlike the PDL OUTPUT command, where all parameters are
treated independently from one another, BTEXT parameters
are treated as one entity. This implies that parameters
specified at the job level do not override those specified at the
system level on an individual basis. However, as a whole, the
job level BTEXT does override the system level BTEXT. For
example, if the system level contains the RNA and DPT
parameters, but the job level only contains the RNA parameter,
INPUT Processing does not use the DPT from the system level
and the RNA from the job level. Instead, INPUT Processing
only uses the RNA (with no DPT) firom the job level and sends
that information to the PC UI.
Caution: A word of caution must be mentioned as to when BTEXT
information is sent to the PC UI. For every report, INPUT Processing
reads the JDE/JDL specified in the START command at report set-
up time. In addition, it also performs the BTEXT JDE to JDL
overrides. Although BTEXT is processed at this time, the information
is not immediately sent to the PC UI until after the first record of the
report is read and processed. If the first record is a DJDE BTEXT,
the DJDE BTEXT overrides the JDE/JDL BTEXT. Again, no
combining is done. If the JSL has RNA and DPT parameters and the
DJDE BTEXT has just an RNA parameter, only the RNA parameter
from the DJDE BTEXT is used for auditing.
Once received by the PC UI, a set of PC UI BTEXT parameter
override rules must be observed. At the start of every report, the PC
UI enables receiving BTEXT with a new RNA parameter. When this
parameter is received, the PC UI ignores any further report detail
parameters within the same report. This implies that overriding
occurs with report detail parameters received after the start of the
report and before the RNA parameter. After the RNA parameter is
received, if report and page detail parameters are intermixed within
the same BTEXT command for future pages, only the page detail
parameters are processed. If there are multiple values for a BTEXT
parameter within the same packet sent to the PC UI, only the last
value is used. For example, if there are multiple DPT parameters
specified in a DJDE packet which also contain the RNA parameter,
the last DPT parameter is used.
• If a BTEXT is placed in the JSL and a DJDE BTEXT is specified
as the first record in the job, the DJDE BTEXT overwrites the
BTEXT specified in the JSL.
• When a DJDE BTEXT is used, it must precede all data for the
page to ensure it will be forwarded to the PC UI before the page
