Q:
ABSTRACT: Will PSF/AIX handle ASCII "Control L" commands ?
SEARCH ARG: PSF/AIX ascii

Customer has an ASCII job with "control L" imbedded commands they
want to print to their RS/6000 & PSF/AIX attached 3900.
How would I setup PSF/AIX to handle the "control L" commands, are there
any special parms required so that PSF/AIX correctly interprets the
"control L" commands and sends the job to the 3900 ?
Thanks...
A:
Please see ASKQ item RTA000090711; that should answer your question.
If not, please reopen.
It's important to understand that the underlying hexadecimal code for
what appears on the screen to be a CONTROL-L is really a X'0C'. You
can use the od command with the -cx flags to see the underlying hex
codes. For example, if you have a file called test.formfeed, you could
issue the following command from the AIX command prompt to have the
hex and characters displayed on the screen:
od -cx test.formfeed | pg
If you want to use line2afp with pagedefs for ASCII data that contains
form feeds (X'0C'), the key to success is using the correct inpexit:
either asciinp or asciinpe, depending on the font you want to print
with; you must also specify cc=yes and cctype=z. (See Print Submission
for more details.)
