I am adding a PAGEDEF and FORMDEF to an output in SDSF, and also need to tell the system that TRC's are defined in the PAGEDEF. Where in SDSF can I update the output entry to indicate to the system TRC=YES? >> What type printer? If it's PSF it's coded in PAGEDEF and think all you need is PRMODE=PAGE and you need TRC in column 2 of every record. From PSF Applications Guide: In OS/390, VM, and VSE, the maximum number of characters allowed in the character-set name (CHARS) parameter was four. This presented no problem when 3800 compatibility-mode character sets were used, as none of them had names of more than four characters. But the typographic fonts available for page-mode printing have eight-character names (including a two-character font prefix), and as a result cannot be coded in the CHARS parameter. To associate a table reference character with an eight-character font name, a Page Definition must be built that explicitly makes that mapping. A Page Definition is also required if five or more fonts are to be used._ Figure 10_ (http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ha3l2m00/3.3.2.2?SHELF=APSBK330&DT=20000914 141301#FIGTRCPDEF) provides an example of PPFA source code that could be used to build a Page Definition that addresses both requirements. Here, six table reference characters are defined and each one is associated with a different font of the Sonoran Sans Serif family. ____________________________________ SETUNITS LINESP 6 LPI; Page Definition TRCXMP WIDTH 8.2 IN HEIGHT 10.8 IN REPLACE YES; FONT ZERO A0758C; /* EIGHT-POINT SANS SERIF BOLD */ FONT ONE A0759C; /* NINE-POINT SANS SERIF BOLD */ FONT TWO A0750C; /* TEN-POINT SANS SERIF BOLD */ FONT THREE A075BC; /* 12-POINT SANS SERIF BOLD */ FONT FOUR A0559C; /* NINE-POINT SANS SERIF ROMAN */ FONT FIVE A0550C; /* TEN-POINT SANS SERIF ROMAN */ PAGEFORMAT JSTRC; TRCREF 0 FONT ZERO; TRCREF 1 FONT ONE; TRCREF 2 FONT TWO; TRCREF 3 FONT THREE; TRCREF 4 FONT FOUR; TRCREF 5 FONT FIVE; PRINTLINE CHANNEL 1 POSITION .1 IN .2 IN REPEAT 20; ENDSUBPAGE; ____________________________________ Figure 10.
