Figure 1. How ACIF Fits into Advanced Function Presentation The figure shows the resources and the text data, which can be provided and usedby various AFP and AFP-compatible products. With ACIF, data and resources canfeed into ACIF for processing and can be sent to a customer-supplied archival andre...

With the files that ACIF creates, you can do the following: Ÿ Use PSF to print the AFP document file. If you have specified resources in theAFP document file, PSF for AIX references the AFP resource file for the namesand locations of the resources. The AFP document file must be concatenatedto the en...

Figure 2. Using ACIF to Prepare Files for Viewing Figure 2 shows the path your data takes when you are preparing files for viewingwith the Workbench Viewer. 1.

Tasks You Can Do with ACIF This section describes the three tasks for which you can use ACIF. The tasks arelisted in the order in which they are described, not in any order in which theyshould be done.

Because ACIF can process different data streams with various file formats (carriagecontrol characters, no carriage control characters, table-reference characters, andso on), it requires triggers to determine an anchor point from which it can locate the necessary index values. You may require multipl...

Document Composition Facility (DCF) Document Composition Facility (DCF) is a program used primarily to prepare andformat documents for printing. It is another product that can be used with ACIF toindex your data in the OS/390, MVS, VM, or VSE environments. Along with itsmany other features, DCF prov...

Note: You can use later versions or releases of these products. E...

Chapter 2. Using ACIF Parameters in AIX This section describes the acif command for AIX, including syntax rules,parameters, and values. Purpose Transforms S/370 line data and unformatted ASCII files into MO:DCA-P files forprinting, viewing, archiving, and retrieving. Syntax | acif [ cc= value] [ cct...

Ÿ When the acif command processes any unrecognized or unsupportedparameter, acif issues a message, ignores the parameter, and continuesprocessing any remaining parameters. The acif command then stopsprocessing. Ÿ Though the parameters themselves are not case-sensitive, associated values,such as file...

Note: If the page definition does not specify fonts, and you have not specified any TRCs, your job will print, although the output may not be formattedcorrectly. If the page definition does not name any fonts, and you want the whole file to printwith only one font, then you must: Ÿ Specify trc=no. Ÿ...

You can use ACIF to prepare S/370 line data or unformatted ASCII files. At printsubmission time, to automatically invoke the acif command for the purpose of preparing S/370 line data or unformatted ASCII files for printing with PSF for AIX,use the -odatatype=line flag and keyword-value pair with one...

functions for viewing. The line2afp command is described in IBM Print Services Facility for AIX: Print Submission.

with more than one font, then the input file must contain tablereference characters, and you must: Ÿ Specify trc=yes. Ÿ Use chars to indicate the fonts to be associated with each TableReference Character (TRC). fontname1 is associated with TRC 0, fontname2 is associated with TRC 1, and so on. If the...

Ÿ If you do not specify a chars parameter, and if no fonts arecontained in the page definition you specified, the acif commanduses the default font that is set in the printer’s hardware. comsetup= name Specifies the name of a COM setup file. A COM setup file is an AFPresource that contains instructi...

Ÿ The first field in the example is located in the indexing anchorrecord (trigger1). The field is 20 bytes in length starting at thesecond byte of the record. Ÿ The second field is located five records down from the indexinganchor record. The field is 10 bytes in length starting at the fifthbyte of ...

The acif command examines the first six bytes of the firstline data record of the input file, to determine whether theinput file is ASCII or EBCDIC. If ACIF determines that theinput file is ASCII, ACIF looks for the ASCII newlinecharacter (X ' 0A ' ) to delimit the end of a record. If ACIF determine...

fdefname Any valid form definition file name. The fdefname can be one to eight alphanumeric or national characters,including the two-character prefix, if there is one. Thefdefname is case-sensitive. Note: If the file name of the form definition includes a file extension, do not use the file extensio...

You should specify the same value for the ovlylib parameter to theacif command as specified to PSF for AIX. In this way, the searchpaths and resources used at transform time are identical to the searchpaths and resources used at print time. For information on how PSFfor AIX selects resources, refer ...

If you use pagedef to specify an inline page definition that isdifferent than the actual page definition used inline, the acifcommand looks for the page definition in the page definitionsearch path instead of the inline page definition. An input file can contain multiple page definitions, but only o...

Examples The examples contained in this section show how to use ACIF processingparameters for conversion, resource retrieval, specifying fonts, and identifying thelocation of resource directories. For indexing examples, see Chapter 3, “Exampleof an ACIF Application in AIX” on page 53. For examples o...

Determining the Form Definition and the Page Definition To format and print the job, you need to specify page definition and form definitionresources. In the example, the following resources are used: formdef F1A10110, a standard form definition, provided with PSF for AIX pagedef P1A08682, a standar...

Using the ACIF User Input Record Exits The apka2e input record exit program translates data that is encoded in ASCII(code set IBM-850) into EBCDIC (code set IBM-037) encoded data. You shoulduse this exit when your print job requires fonts such as GT12, which has onlyEBCDIC code points defined. To ex...

For more information on using and modifying these programs, refer to the prolog ofthe asciinp.c source file that is provided with PSF for AIX in the /usr/lpp/psf/acifdirectory.

Resource Exit ACIF provides an exit that enables you to “filter” resources from being included inthe resource file. If you want to exclude a specific type of resource (for example, anoverlay), you can control this with the restype parameter. This exit is useful incontrolling resources at the file na...
