Specifying input parameters
2-42 Using LCDS Print Description Language
CONSTANT may be enabled as the result of STRUCTURE
being changed to U in label processing. However, no
definition is assumed for the constant string. The default must
be zero, or it must be defined in the job descriptor entry.
• LINE DATA parameter and RECORD LENGTH parameter
When the DATA parameter of the LINE command is changed
to a value greater than the default value, the LENGTH
parameter of the RECORD command must also be changed
accordingly. Refer to the “LINE command” section of the
“Specifying print format parameters” chapter for additional
information.
• Using online JDEs in offline JDLs
An offline JDL statement set that modifies the system default
values, specifically in the BLOCK or RECORD commands,
may experience incorrect results if an online job (JDE) is
running. In other words, if an online JDE is specified in an
offline JDL that has changed the system default values of the
BLOCK and RECORD command parameters, the job may
not print correctly. You should separate and run online and
offline jobs (JDEs) independently of each other.
RECORD command example
The RECORD command for the sample input record illustrated
below would be coded as follows:
The following figure shows sample values for RECORD
command parameters.
Figure 2-2. Sample RECORD command
The following figure shows record format types.
RECORD LENGTH=133, OFFSET=2, LTHFLD=2,
PREAMBLE=4, ADJUST=4, FORMAT=BIN;
