Specifying print format parameters
4-18 Using LCDS Print Description Language
There also may be multiple text specifications following a
column specification. These are combined to form a single
text string.
• String position: Where a CME string constant is printed on a
line depends upon where the POSITION and CONSTANT
parameters are specified in the CME. If POSITION is
specified before CONSTANT, the string constant is printed at
the specified position. If POSITION is specified after
CONSTANT, the string constant is printed at the current
position (position 1 if no other POSITION or CONSTANT
parameter has been specified), and a subsequent
CONSTANT or FONT parameter takes effect at the specified
POSITION.
• Double byte font support: Double byte text strings are
supported for the CME CONSTANT value if KCODE or
DBCODE is specified for the VOLUME command. The
maximum number of double byte characters is 127.
• Copy sensitive CMEs:
– On LPS systems: Copy sensitive CMEs are supported
only for offline printing, because multiple passes are
required to implement them.
– On EPS systems: Copy sensitive CMES are supported for
online as well as offline printing. Online jobs may be
transmitted via channel or the Socket gateway. Only
spooling queues may be used.
NOTE: The entire job must be spooled to disk before the
RIP process can start. This could cause the spool to
become full if the job is extremely large.
– Copy sensitive CMEs are not supported when
COLLATE=NO is specified in the OUTPUT command.
