Printer carriage
control and DJDEs
Printer carriage control processing may differ if it is associated
with DJDEs. Use of certain PCC parameters in conjunction with
DJDEs affects what those parameters do. The following table
shows what to expect from those PCC parameters when DJDEs
are present.
Types of DJDEs
There are two types of DJDEs: page oriented and record
oriented.
Page oriented
DJDEs
Page oriented DJDEs change the look of subsequent pages
within a report, and can change these pages differently on
different copies.
If DJDE parameters are placed within the report itself, they
take effect at the next page boundary. (They can take effect
on the current page if no data has yet been printed on it.)
