D-13
Cause. The operation value was not found in a CONTROLBUF directive in a font 
description.
Effect. The Font utility aborts. Any font jobs created and configuration changes made 
to this point remain. 
Recovery. Specify an operation value in the CONTROLBUF directive. In most 
cases, you can fix the script file and rerun the Font utility without undoing any 
configuration changes that the Font utility made in the spooler.
There might be a job that was created in the spooler that has its ABNORMAL flag set 
to YES because the Font utility did not close the job properly.  This job should be 
deleted. You can find jobs that the Font utility created with the following SPOOLCOM 
command: 
SPOOLCOM ; JOB (REPORT LASER FONT JOB)
If the job has an X in the FLAGS column and the TIME field corresponds to the time 
that you ran the Font utility, delete this job.
Cause. The font-name parameter was not found in a FONT directive or the font-
name was not found after a location name in the locations section.
Effect. The Font utility aborts. Any font jobs created and configuration changes made 
to this point remain. 
Recovery. Specify a valid font name.  In most cases, you can fix the script file and 
rerun the Font utility without undoing any configuration changes that the Font utility 
made in the spooler.
Cause. A data line was specified for the CONTROLBUF directive that did not begin 
with any of these characters: ", #, %, H, !, or ?.
Effect. The Font utility aborts. Any font jobs created and configuration changes made 
to this point remain. 
Recovery. Use quotation marks (") to delimit actual text data or use one of the other 
symbols as the first nonblank character on the line. In most cases, you can fix the 
script file and rerun the Font utility without undoing any configuration changes that the 
Font utility made in the spooler.
There might be a job that was created in the spooler that has its ABNORMAL flag set 
to YES because the Font utility did not close the job properly.  This job should be
