xVALEXT Parameter

To specify which file extensions CA Spool’s LPD Interface accepts, use the xVALEXT parameter. The extensions are delimited by a slash (/), and the parameter length cannot exceed 60 characters.

The following example specifies that all .DOC, .TXT, .XLS, and .PDF files be processed:

xVALEXT=DOC/TXT/XLS/PDF

If any other extension is sent to this destination, an error message is issued:

• In response to the LPR command, the following message is issued:

  Error: data may have been lost. Could not abort job

• In the CA Spool Started task, the following message is issued:

  ESF7117 - Disallowed file extension
