Statements

Destination Statement

The destination statement has been added to the filter source to describe a

distributor's routing configuration. Filters with destination statements can only be used

in printing distributors. Multiple statements per filter are allowed.

RECLEN n , ! Desired rec len : optional

INDENT n , ! Indentation : optional

PRI n , ! Priority : optional

RID

is the routing ID. It can be an integer in the range from 1 to 255. It need not be

unique within one filter. That is, more than one destination can have the same

routing ID. The RID is used in the PASS statement to indicate to which

destination the event is to be routed.

NAME

is the name of the routing destination (a local or remote name). The EMF (EMS

filter) language requires file names to begin either with a dollar sign ($) or a

backslash (\) character. If a node name is not given, the distributor's node is

used later. To let the distributor's home terminal be specified as a destination,

the name $HOME has been reserved. To avoid hard-coded file names, a

DEFINE name can be given that is later resolved by the distributor.

TYPE

It is supplied for informational purposes only. It makes the filter easier to

maintain. No checking is done by either the compiler or the distributor to verify

this parameter.

FORMAT

indicates if events for this destination should be formatted by EMSTEXT or

submitted in binary form. The default is set to ON (formatted).

RECLEN

for formatted events, indicates how many columns are to be formatted per line.

The largest length accepted is 4096. If not specified, the device's record length

is substituted.

INDENT

specifies by how many columns lines are to be indented, excepting the first line

of the event. This number must be smaller than RECLEN. Default is 36.
