It would have been acceptable to code theUCBCCW as: UCBCCW All
since the default is what was coded.
FormsControl Buffer
It is possible to have a forms control buffer with both a virtual and
real3203 or 3211 printer. A virtual 3203 or 3211 file can be printed
on a real1403; in fact, one way to provide forms control for a 1403 is
to define it as a virtual There is an FCB macro to support forms control. The format of the
FCB macro is:r- I I FCB I fcbname,space,length,(line,channel ••• ),index L---- _______________________________________________________________________ fcbname is the name of the forms control buffer. "fcbname" can be one
to four alphameric characters.
space is the number of lines/inch.Valid specifications are 6 or 8.
This operand may be omitted: the default is 6 lines/inch.When the space operand is omitted, a comma (,) must be coded. Spacing has no meaning for a virtual printer.
length is the number of print lines per page or carriage tape (1 to180) • (line,channel ••• )
index
shows which print line (line) prints in each channel (1 to 12).
The entries can be specified in any order.
is an index value (from 1 to 31)."index" specifies the print
position that is to be the first printed posi tion. (The"index" specification can be overridden with the LOADBUF command). VM/370 provides one real FCB image, FCB1. This FCB is in pageable
module DMKFCB. Installations may add additional FCB images to DMKFCB as
long as the size of DMKFCB does not exceed the size of a page.
There is a default virtual FCB image located in resident storage (moduleDMKVSP). This FCF image is used by CP for a spooled virtual 3203 or
3211 printer if the user has not previously loaded an FCB for that
virtual device.
Note: The GENERATEEXEC procedure has a facility to reassemble only the DMKFCB module. See the description of the GENERATE EXEC procedure in
theVMLJIQ agg If you wanted your printer to print: • 8 lines/inch • 60 lines/page • print line 3 in channel 1 • print line 60 in channel 9 • print line 40 in channel 12 • print position 10 the first print position
