Input Processing

2 Input Processing
Specifying input parameters
Input data is processed and temporarily written to disk for subsequent printing under control
of user-selected PDL commands. The input processor decodes and formats input data from
an offline magnetic tape, a host-attached channel interface, a remote communication, or
Ethernet interface. The general functions of input processing are described below.
The basic XDL commands available to control input processing are BLOCK, CODE, PCC,
RECORD, TCODE and VOLUME, which are defined in this chapter. The chapter "Using
logical processing commands" defines commands enabling you to specify logical functions
that may be performed on either a record, block, or page basis.
