you would code the FCB macro (with a name, SPEC) as: 'I:I"'n r-n'l'!l..... a L n. I 4. .. n .4 ""'" L n. n" .. n. J:\..O OJrJ:l\..,o,ov, \J, .,"tv, IV If you want another forms control buffer
l called LONG, to be exactly
the same asSPEC (except that only 6 lines print per inch] you could
code either of the following:
FCBLONG,6,60,(3,1,40,12,60,9),10 FCB LONG,,60,(3,1,40,12,60,9),10 l: You could have your special forms control buffer (SPEC) loaded for
either a virtual or real3203 or 3211 printer. The LOADVFCB command is
for the virtual printer and theLOADBUF command is for the real printer.
IfINDEX is not specified on these commands, no indexing is done. If INDEX is specified without a value, the value coded in the FCB macro is
used and ifINDEX is specified with a value, the specified value
overrides the value coded in the FCBmacro. If you specify INDEX for the virtual 3211 printer and again for the
real 3211 printer, the output is indexed using the sum of the two
specificationsminus 1. For example, the command LOADVFCB OOF FCB SPEC INDEX indexes the virtual print file 10 positions because 10 was specified in
the FCB macro for theSPEC forms control buffer. When this file is sent
to the real printer, the commandLOADBUF OOE FCB SPEC INDEX 20 indexes the file an additional 20 positions. The value specified on the
command line(20) overrides the value the FCB macro (10). The output
will start printing in print position 29(10.20-1=29). Because the 3203 Model 4 and printers do not have indexing capabilities, the LOADVFCB and LOADBUF commands with the INDEX option
causes a command reject error for the3203 printer. 3203 Model 4 and 5 Printer Forms Control and Print
Buffer
The Form Control Buffer for the3203 is exactly like the 3211 Form
Control Buffer. The3203 uses the Universal Character Set (UCS) used by
the1403 Printer. The 3203 attaches a 64-byte associative field to the
end of theUCS to check, during print line buffer (PLB) loading, that
each character loaded into thePLB for printing also is on the print
train. The3203 associative field is exactly like the 3211 associative
field described in Figure 25.Part 2. Program (CP) 223
