Specifying input parametersUsing LCDS Print Description Language 2-33PCC ASSIGNparameter: pointsto note• You need not specify consecutive byte values. For example,you can code the following command as a single command:ASSIGN=(X’60’, SP1), ASSIGN=(X’61’, SP2),ASSIGN=(X’62’, SP3);The single command is:ASSIGN=(X’60’, SP1, SP2, SP3));• If byte translation is specified under the PCC LINE parameter(that is, the LINE PCC parameter TRAN option is specified),the PCC control byte is translated into standard EBCDICbefore being applied (refer to the Character CodeAssignment Tables in appendix C of this guide). In this caseyou must specify the byte option of the ASSIGN parameter asan EBCDIC translation of the PCC byte; for example, X’F1’or ‘1’.• PCC codes should not be reassigned when the system isprinting online, because the carriage control codes areconverted to 3211 codes (whose functions are specificallydefined) before they are sent. Any special PCC byteassignments are ignored for online printing, and the defaultsthat were defined for PCCTYPE=IBM3211are used.PCC DEFAULTAllows you to select a set of printer carriage control codes.You can select a table and then modify specific control codes byusing the ASSIGN parameter.Syntax [ac:] PCC DEFAULT = {ccln | pcctype}OptionsTable 2-34. PCC DEFAULT parameter options and definitionsOption Definitionccln Specifies the required action when a character code has not been specificallyassigned. The assignment codes for various actions are described in the cclnoption description of the ASSIGN parameter. The system default PCC tablesare defined using standard EBCDIC characters.
