Using Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs)
Using LCDS Print Description Language 5-37
• Because there is ambiguity between the abbreviated forms of
the FONTINDEX and the FONTS DJDEs, if either is
abbreviated to the first three letters, DJDE processing
presumes FONTINDEX.
• If there are more than 128 fonts in a DJDE packet, a syntax
error occurs, and the FONTS DJDE is ignored.
• If any font in the font list is missing, a syntax error occurs and
the FONTS DJDE is ignored.
FORMAT DJDE
Specifies an entirely new page descriptor entry (PDE) to be used
for formatting control. It takes effect on the next page boundary.
Type Page oriented
Syntax FORMAT = PDEid
Options
FORMAT DJDE: points to note
• Parameters of the selected PDE, such as BEGIN, FONTS,
and PMODE, may also be modified on an individual basis.
(The DJDEs that are specified separately override the
parameters that are part of the PDE.
• Format file names must be in all UPPERCASE letters when
they are referenced in DJDEs, or the system will not detect
them. (However, format file names may have lowercase
letters in the JSL commands and parameters.)
