XES Transform modifications
This section describes how the supplied XES translation source, XESTRANS can be modi-
fied to alter the following transform attributes:
• XES to AFP font selection (including codepage)
• Lead-in and Lead-out strings
• Page length and margins
• External DD name for FORMS references
• Default User Defined Key (UDK)
• Modifying the sixel decoding table
• Default EBCDIC language translation (codepage)
Customization of the XESTRANS assembler source is required to tailor the operation of this
transform. The default operation is designed to permit processing of datastreams that have
been encoded using i-data FSL Escape or Escape Escape notation.
The format of the assembler source file requires that the notation used for Assembler
source files is maintained, e.g.
• The keyword macros are placed in column one.
• Keyword macro operands are placed in column 10, together with other data defi-
nitions.
• Line continuation (if required) requires an "X" in column 72, and the subsequent line
must start before position 10.
• Comments statements on an empty line are indicated using an asterisk in column
one. Comment statements can be placed on other lines after a single space from the
last command operand.
The supplied XESTRANS assembler source indicates the standard configuration supplied
with the product, and can be used as a reference example for modifications. The assem-
bler source uses entry points to identify the various options that can be customized.
Note:
Certain entries in this file are case sensitive.
Modification of XES to AFP Font selection
The FONTTAB entry point is used to indicate (via the FONTENT macro) which AFP fonts
will be used for XES font references. The first FONTENT statement describes which AFP
font will be the default font. The syntax of the FONTENT macro subparameters are as fol-
lows.
• AFP Font name
The six character font member name (excluding C0) that describes the AFP font
name.
• Codepage name
