Summary of VOLUME Command Parameters
The defaults which are automatically selected when VOLUME HOST=IBMONL is specified
are as follows:
RECORD
LINE
If ANSI carriage control commands are used in the host application program, the host op-
erating system converts each command to a valid 3211 command before sending it to the
printer. Any commands other than those listed are rejected by the online interface. There-
fore, the only appropriate PCCTYPEs for an online JSL file is IBM3211.
Because the carriage control command is sent prior to - rather than as part of - the data
record, offset to fields (such as DJDE prefix and font index) are typically one byte less for
online than offline, where the carriage control byte is part of the data record. For the same
reason, the online DATA parameter of the LINE command has a default offset of zero rather
than one.
DJDE processing
Printing is controlled through parameters from the user-defined JDE file which may be dy-
namically modified by dynamic job descriptor entries. DJDEs are user created and pro-
cessed by the electronic printing system as part of the print data from the host machine.
The chapter "Specifying dynamic job descriptor entries (DJDEs)" defines their format and
the PDL statements necessary to let the system know they are part of the input data.
Print-and-skip carriage control commands which are associated with online DJDE records
are treated as skip-immediate carriage control commands. If the electronic printing system
is not at the channel specified, a skip occurs; but if it is already there, no skip occurs unless
the last command. Print-and-space carriage control commands associated with DJDE
records are ignored.
Nonprint files (for example, font files) can be downloaded from the host using the FILE
DJDE.
Copy-sensitive copy modification entries (CME)
Copy modification entries (CMEs) which are copy sensitive (that is, a copy range has been
specified on the MODIFY parameter of the OUTPUT command) are ignored online since
the data is not automatically available multiple times. To produce copy-sensitive output, the
user transmits data the number of times the data needs to be modified. Thus, if six copies
of a report are desired and one CME applies to copies 1 through 4, and another CME ap-
plies to copies 5 and 6, the report should be transmitted from the host system twice. The
first transmission contains a copy count of 4 with CME1 specified, and the second trans-
mission contains a copy count of 2 with CME2 specified. As an alternative, the application
