Reports Containing Machine Code Characters

CA XCOM Data Transport processes machine code characters in reports sent from the mainframe under either of these conditions:

• CODE=MACHINE is specified for FILETYPE=REPORT.
• The report is sent from a machine code type data set, such as FBM.

For each line that begins with a supported printer channel command code, CA XCOM Data Transport inserts the appropriate number of form feed and line feed characters.

CA XCOM Data Transport supports the following machine code characters:

• SKIP ONE LINE
• SKIP TWO LINES
• SKIP THREE LINES
• SKIP TO CHANNEL1-12
• WRITE NO SPACE
• WRITE ONE SPACE
• WRITE TWO SPACES
• WRITE THREE SPACES
• WRITE & SKIP TO CHANEL1-12

All channel commands (that is, Skip to Channel, Write and Skip to Channel) are translated to a form feed (0C) followed by n-1 line feeds (0A). The Skip to Channel or Write and Skip to Channel number is represented by n.
