SNAplus2 RJE Components and Operation
Processing Output Data
Chapter 348
The following parameters for punches can be defined by using
snaprjecust (the workstation customization program) or by editing the
minor options in the style file (see Chapter 6, “SNAplus2 RJE
Workstation Configuration.”)
• Code Conversion (data translation from EBCDIC to ASCII)
• NL option
• Binary Output
• EBCDIC New-line Option
Exchange Devices
When the host sends output data as exchange data, it specifies a
particular exchange device to which the output is routed. SNAplus2
supports exchange devices by routing any output for exchange device
n
to punch device
n
. For example, if the host specifies that an output device
is exchange device number 3, it sends the output for this exchange device
to punch number 3. However, the job logging information will indicate
that the output is exchange output (see “RJE Job Log File” later in this
chapter).
The options for controlling exchange device output are the same as for
punch output. See the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide for more
information.
Sending PDIR Information
When the host sends output data to a printer or punch device, it may
supply information on how to process the data. This information is in the
form of a PDIR (Peripheral Data Information Record), which precedes
the data to which it applies. The host will normally send a PDIR at the
start of the output data for a job (this depends on the host configuration).
It may also send further PDIRs interspersed with the data.
SNAplus2 RJE allows you the option of retaining PDIR information for
use in processing the output or discarding it. This option,
pdir_passthrough, is defined in the RJE style file for each output
device. You can use the snaprjecust customization program to turn this
option on or off (see Chapter 6, “SNAplus2 RJE Workstation
Configuration,” for information on how to use this program). The use of
PDIR information depends on the method of routing the output.
A PDIR consists of the following seven parameters :
