  • TRANSFRM=P2HT— PDF to Web Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2AF— PCL to AFP Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2IM— PCL to Image Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2ME— PCL FP to Metacode Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2PC— PCL to PCL Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2PS— PCL to PostScript Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2PD— PCL to PDF Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2PA— PCL to PDF/A Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2TI— PCL to TIFF Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=C2HT— PCL to Web Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2AF— TIFF to AFP Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2IM— TIFF to Image Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2ME— TIFF to Metacode Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2PC— TIFF to PCL Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2PS— TIFF to PostScript Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2PD— TIFF to PDF Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2PA— TIFF to PDF/A Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2TI— TIFF to TIFF Transformation
  • TRANSFRM=I2HT— TIFF to Web Transformation
• oooooo—Specifies one or more of the following transformer options:
  • A— Map AFP outline fonts into corresponding AFP raster fonts.
  • B—Store output records into a buffer equal to the CA Spool buffer size (see the BUFSIZE parameter) to reduce overhead.
  • C—Force the transformation of single chars files.
  • D—Delimit output records by adding a CR LF (carriage return/line feed) after each output record written.
  • E—Translate all output records to EBCDIC; the default is to write all output records in ASCII.
  • F—Force the Position=Relative transformer parameter specification.
  • G— Reverse Logical Page Orientation. Change Portrait to Reverse Portrait and Landscape to Reverse Landscape.
  • I—If DISK, SAR or JES print driver write transformer output directly to DISK, SAR or JES dataset.
  • J— Specifies that AFP-to-PDF DocBreak and e-Books PDF documents must be written as individual output files.
  • K—Keep input file after transformation; do not transform held files.
  • L—Force the Native=Yes transformer parameter specification.
  • O—Replaces all low values in non-AFP (X'5A') records with dots.
  • P—Add the 'PJL ENTER LANGUAGE= <PCL | PostScript>' command first in the transformer output file.
  • Q—Qualify files by class before queuing them for transformation. If a file is created in a class that is not defined as a class the printer will print, the file will not be transformed at file close time. If that file is updated to be in a class the printer will print or if the file's class is added to the list the printer will print, it will be queued for transformation.
  • R—Produce a detailed A2PCREPT/A2PSREPT/A2PDREPT Transformation Report.

    Note: When using this option, only one transformation is performed at a time.

  • S—specifies that the AFP-to-PDF output must be written to the HFS specified by the A2PDPARM FdOutput parameter. This option is set automatically by the CA Spool Web Interface.
  • T—Force the transformation of all AFP and text files.
  • U—Delimit output records by adding an LF (line feed) after each output record written.
  • W—Force the Position=Word transformer parameter specification.
  • X—Activate special Danish AFP-to-PDF e-Books transformation support.
  • Y— Allows files with transformation warnings to print. Files are not held. The AFP-to-PCL transformer prints an extra page with highest warning message.
  • Z— Allows files with transformation errors to print. Files are not held. The AFP-to-PCL transformer prints an extra page with highest error message.
  • 1—Delay queuing files for transformation until they are selected for print. Usually, files are transformed as soon as they are closed permanently at creation time. Option 1 can be used to ensure files are sent to their destination in the same sequence in which they were created. All file priorities must be equal on printers using the 1 option. If the WS parameter is used to exclude priority from the process of selecting work for the printer, FCB must be included as part of the WS parameter, for example, WS=FCB/AGE.
  • 2—The MAXCPU value coded on the X2YY statement is compared to the number of pages in the file and the bigger number is used as the MAXCPU value for the transformation.

    Note: This option does not apply to Page mode files.

  • 9— Suppress initial x'8B' Skip to channel 1 for PRMODE=PAGE files. These initial x'8B' can have been added by CA View if the CA View Feature 9 is not turned on.

There is no default value.
