Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)
5-2 Using LCDS Print Description Language
Example Here is another example:
For information on coding the IDEN command and explanations
of its parameters and options, refer to the “IDEN command”
description in the “Specifying input parameters” chapter.
Specifying DJDE records
DJDE records are part of the data stream. The system looks for
them only if there is an IDEN PREFIX command within the JDE
used to process the job. DJDE information is contained in one or
more records, each of which may be up to the maximum record
length specified for the job input data. For each DJDE record, the
prefix (the identification field) must begin in the same location in
the record.
Ending a DJDE A group of DJDE records, called a packet, is terminated by an
END parameter in the last DJDE record in the packet. All
specified DJDE information is applied at the next record or page
boundary after the END parameter is encountered.
The end of a DJDE record parameter that is split and continued
on the next DJDE record must be followed by a comma, then a
semicolon (,;).
NOTE: After a DJDE packet is terminated by an END
parameter, there must be one or more data records before the
next DJDE packet. DJDE records directly following a previously
terminated DJDE parameter set are ignored.
Multiple DJDEs There may be multiple DJDE packets in a job. Only the specific
parameters mentioned within the packet are modified.
DJDE coding
guidelines
When preparing DJDE records as part of the input data stream,
keep in mind the following guidelines.
• A DJDE record may contain more than one parameter. Each
parameter within a record must be separated from the next
parameter by a comma.
• The prefix in a DJDE record may appear after the DJDE
parameter(s) as long as it is consistently located in all DJDE
records.
