Steps in creating a JSL

• You do not need to use all command levels in a JSL. Many JSLs have only ID, system,
and job-level commands.
• Keep in mind that the specifications to select in your JSL can be changed easily. By
using the IDEN command you can allow DJDEs to override XDL commands on a page-
by-page or record-by-record basis. Also, certain operator commands can alter the print
job in such areas as the number of copies to be printed, the sequencing of reports, and
paper feed specifications.
1.13 Steps in creating a JSL
There are many steps in creating a JSL, and many ways in which a JSL can specify your
application's requirements. The following sequence is simply one example of the format
and content of a JSL to help you get ideas on how to set up your own applications.
1.13.1 Name the JDL identifier
The first step in creating a JSL is to give the JDL a name, which can be no longer than six
alphanumeric characters, for example:
XRXSPL: JDL;
1.13.2 Specifying VFUs
The VFU command specifies the vertical tabbing for the print job. There can be more than
one VFU identified. All are typically specified at the ID level, for example:
/* ID level commands*/
VFU1:
VFU2UP:
VFU3:
22
VFU ASSIGN=(1,11),
ASSIGN=(12,66),
TOF=11,BOF=66;
VFU ASSIGN=(1,(11,77)),
ASSIGN=(12,(66,132)),
TOF=11, BOF=132;
VFU ASSIGN=(1,1),
TOF=1, BOF=132;
