Input Processing
may be successfully printed with only one transmission by using copy-sensitive forms. Re-
fer to the FORMS parameter of the OUTPUT command in the "Specifying output parame-
ters" chapter.
Report separation
Report separation is defined in terms of banner page detection or other user-defined pro-
cessing criteria. Logically separated reports are physically offset from one another in the
output bins (depending on the attached post processing equipment). The two logical pro-
cessing commands which can be used to control online report separation are BANNER and
RSTACK. Refer to the chapter "Using logical processing commands".
Online record length
The default record length supported by the Océ laser printing systems is 150 bytes, the
same default as the 3211/4245 printer. However, the you can choose to use larger record
lengths with the following restrictions:
•
For print record lengths from 151 bytes to 214 bytes, do not use the print position index-
ing feature that is normally available on the IBM 3211/4245. This feature is invoked only
with FCBs; if FCB=IGNORE is invoked, this restriction is not significant.
•
For print record lengths from 215 bytes to 512 bytes, the user must not use the OPTI-
MIZE parameter of the VOLUME command which provides for online buffering for im-
proved performance.
To select a record length longer than 150 bytes, the user must specify the new value as the
LENGTH parameter on the RECORD command and must also modify the DATA parameter
of the LINE command to print the extended character or record length.
Points to note
•
If the data record transmitted from the host exceeds the RECORD LENTH specified,
the record is truncated to the specified record length and no warning is provided.
This action is consistent with the IBM 3211/4245 printer.
•
The LENGTH parameter in the RECORD command cannot be changed using a DJDE
since this would require dynamic re buffering. Therefore, you should consider modifica-
tions to the default online JDL to simplify operations in the online environment.
•
The OPTIMIZE parameter of the VOLUME command can be changed through the
DJDE JDE=subject to the restrictions listed in OPTIMIZE.
