$LPDVP

The $LPDVP macro is used in all modules to name the device types, and to separate data for each device type.

In the XDEVTYPS module, the $LPDVP macro is also used to specify a select mask and a reject mask for each of the four types of modules:

• Device Type
• FORMDEF
• PAGEDEF
• Font

If a mask contains an * (asterisk) in any position, the letter in the same position of the module name is defined to be a match without regard to its value. Otherwise, the characters in the mask must be equal to the characters in the same position in the module name to match.

When the use-count of a module reaches zero (that is, no printer is using it), the name of the module is compared to the appropriate select mask from the last time the XDEVTYPS module was loaded.

If the name does not match, the module is kept in storage. If the name does match, it is now compared to the reject mask. If there is a match, the module is kept in storage; if not, it is deleted.

$LPDVP Parameters

This section describes the &LPDVP parameters.

CBPRINT=GEN|NOGEN

The parameter effects are:

• GEN—(Default) Macro expansion is printed in the assembler listing.
• NOGEN—Macro expansion is not printed in the assembler listing.

CHRM1=xxxxxxxx

This parameter selects a mask for font modules. The default value is XCHR****

CHRM2=xxxxxxxx

This parameter rejects a mask for font modules. The default value is XCH…

DEVICE =xxxxxxxx

This parameter provides a device type name. There is no default value.

DEVM1=xxxxxxxx

This parameter selects a mask for device type modules. The default value is XCHR****.

DEVM2=xxxxxxxx

This parameter rejects a mask for device type modules. The default value is XD...

END=YES|NO

The parameter effects are:

• YES—Ends this module. If END=YES is specified, this must be the only parameter specified.
• NO—(Default) This is a normal invocation of the macro.

FDFM1

The parameter effect is to select a mask for FORMDEF modules. The default value is XF****.

FDFM2

The parameter effect is to reject a mask for FORMDEF modules. The default value is XF....

PDFM1

The parameter effect is to select a mask for PAGEDEF modules. The default value is XP****.

PDFM2

The parameter effect is to reject a mask for PAGEDEF modules. The default value is XP....
