PDL principles and procedures
Using LCDS Print Description Language 1-75
The DATA segment consists of the input data in hexadecimal
transmitted from the host and printed in hexadecimal and ASCII.
The data is translated based on the value specified in the CODE
command.
Restrictions for
online dumps
Online dumps have the following restrictions:
• DJDEs, BANNER, and other logical processing functions are
not processed when the dump job is running.
• Hardware errors are reported in the system error log, but are
not dumped due to host, OLI, or driver interface constraints.
• Commands processed when input is stopped, as when paper
trays become empty, are not dumped.
• Print records that are longer than the RECORD LENGTH
parameter value that is specified in the online dump
(OLDUMP) JDL are truncated without warning. If records
longer than 150 bytes are to be sent, the RECORD LENGTH
parameter in the OLDUMP JDL should be modified to the
longer length.
