PDFINDEX Statements and Syntax

This is a description of the syntax of the statements used within the PDFINDEX members.

DEBUG=PRINTPDF

Display PDF inflated page data during execution

INDEX=(name,position,operator,offset,L(length),delimiter,string)

name

Specifies the name of the index.

If you want to define the index as a cross-report index, you must define the index name under the Extraction Specifications in the CA View Definition Indexing Criteria. Each individual index name must also be defined to a different View Definition.

position

The staring X and Y coordinates from the PDF report. These coordinates specify where data is to be searched or indexed.

An "*" may be specified to search the entire page .

operator

Optionally, specifies the search comparison operator

EQ—Search for data equal to search text

GT—Search for data greater than search text

GE—Search for data greater or equal to search text

LT—Search for data less than search text

LE—Search for data less than or equal to search text

NE—Search for data not equal to search text

If specified, a search string must be provided.

offset

Specifies optionally the offset of the index value from the location starting position or search string.

*+nnn

where

nnn is the number of characters to skip

This parameter is specified with a length specification and optionally with a search comparison operator and a search string.

length

Specifies optionally the maximum length of the index value.

L(nn)

where

nn is the length of the index value

This parameter can be specified with an offset and a delimiter.

delimiter

Optionally indicates the character that designates the end of index value.

SE—Single space ends the index data

DSE—Double space ends the index data

TSE—Triple space ends the index data

PE—A period "." ends the index data

C’?’—A user definable character that ends the index value

Note: The designated delimiter is not retained as part of the index value.

string

Specifies optionally the character string to search for in the PDF page.

Note: This definition is CASE SENSITIVE so string must exactly match the value specified in the PDF report data.

MAXOBJCT=nnnnn

A PDF document is composed of many objects:

• Each page of data constitutes one object.
• Each font, picture, graphic, and barcode are additional objects in the document.

MAXOBJCT controls the maximum number of objects that the collector can process in a single document. The PDF collector pre-allocates 684 bytes of storage for each object.

Maximum value is 2097151.

The default is 30000.

MEMORY=nnnnn

Memory sets the size of the largest PDF to be processed. The amount of memory is specified in kilobytes.

Maximum value is 2097151.

The default is 96801.

REPORTID=report-id

REPORTID specifies a 1- to 32-character name under which the report is to be archived. If the REPORTID is omitted, the job name is used unless you are using CA Deliver which uses the CA Deliver report identifier.

Note: The report-id is entered exactly as desired after the REPORTID keyword and can contain spaces or any supported special characters. If the report-id is more than 32-characters, it is truncated at 32-characters.

REPRTDDN=xxxxxxxx

REPRTDDN is an optional statement used to explicitly specify which DD to write PDF Report information to in the PDF Collector FSS PROC.

If REPRTDDN is not specified, the default DD name of PDFREPRT is used.

TRACE=OFF|ALL|DATA|FLOW|OBJECT|OBJECTTRANSLATE

• OFF—Turn off debug processing
• ALL—Turn on all trace entry points
• DATA—Turn on trace entries for data output
• FLOW—Turn on program flow for PDF process
• OBJECT—Turn on trace entries for objects
• OBJECTTRANSLATE—Translate output to EBCDIC for debugging

TRACEDDN=xxxxxxxx

TRACEDDN is an optional statement to explicitly specify which DD to write trace information to in the PDC Collector FSS proc. If TRACEDDN is not specified, the default DD name of PDFTRACE is used.

XYDUMP=NO|YES

XYDUMP determines whether to produce the PDF Report that is used during PDF Indexing setup.

• NO—Do not produce the PDF Report.
• YES—Produce a PDF Report to aid in setting up indexing.

The default is NO.

XYPAGES=nnnnnn

XYPAGES specifies the number of pages to print in the PDF Report

Maximum value is 2147483647.

The default is 20.
