XPAF Forms Generator

Downloading and printing a sample

If you want to download and print a sample of the form, run the XFGUTIL job

following a successful compile. Figure 6–2 shows an example of JCL you use to
download and sample a form on the printer. This JCL is available in the XPFSAMP
library as member XFGUTIL.

The parameters in the inline IDEN DD statement are as follows:

PREFIX The text string to use as the prefix for the DJDE records generated

OFFSET The offset of the DJDE prefix from the start of the record

SKIP The byte position of start of the DJDE parameters in a DJDE record

JDE If specified, a JDE= DJDE will be generated with the specified value

JDL If specified, a JDL= DJDE will be generated with the specified value

PRINTFORMNAME Indicates whether or not XFGUTIL should add variable text to the form sample that

displays the form name

TEMPFORMNAME Specifies a different form name with which the form will be downloaded and

sampled. This can be used to avoid overwriting a production version of a form that
you have updated and wish to sample before going live.
