DCO descriptions

Receives AFP data and wraps it in the PRR format. This process is usually the first step during a conversion of AFP data when using DCOs.

Receives data in ASA carriage control format and converts it to Printer Ready Record format.

The ASA2PRRnoFF DCO ignores single form feed characters (0x0C) as record delimiters. With BEPS version 3.0 and later, any form or combination of valid CC is treated as a record delimiter, but this DCO can be used to replicate the processing that BEPS performed prior to version 3.0.

Takes an ASCII file and treats 0x1A as an EOF marker. All data after the 0x1A character is ignored.

Receives ASCII data and converts it to PRRs. This DCO also handles the 1F format (non-DEC).

DCO_BOOL_ASCII_V_FORMAT

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

Receives ASCII format data with inline DEC format information. Converts to PRR. Allows multiple in-line 1F commands in a single record.

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

DCO_ULONG_CPOUT

DCO_ULONG_COMPRESS_LEVEL

DCO_BOOL_COMPRESS

Accepts binary data and compresses it, returning PRR records.

DCO_ULONG_COMPRESS_LEVEL

DCO_BOOL_COMPRESS

Accepts binary data it is provided and encrypts it using the cipher key created by the user in the registry. The AES Rijndael cipher protocol is used. The DCO reads the cipher key from the Registry based on the key name provided.

DCO_STRING_KEY_NAME

DCO_BOOL_ENCRYPT

Receives binary data (any data that is not identified as being some other format) and converts it to records in the host format (NJE-wrapped records). This is the standard format for data in the Output Manager Print Server spool.

Wraps portions of binary data in the PRR record format.

Accepts binary data and sends the data to an external program via a named pipe. Data generated by the external program is received via a second named pipe, and outputted to the rest of the DCO chain. Allows external programs to process data, in the same manner as JES exits. Possible uses include normalizing data on input and encryption programs.

DCO_STRING_PROGRAMPATH

DCO_STRING_PROGRAMPARAMETERS

DCO_STRING_PROGRAMFOLDER

DCO_BOOL_PROGRAMHANDLES

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

DCO_ULONG_CPOUT

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT (*)

Receives PRRs and converts the data from the given input code page to Unicode. The output records are in the PRR record format.

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

DCO_UNICODE_DATA (*)

Accepts binary compressed data, and decompresses it. The compressed file needs to be in the gzip (.gz) compression format.

Accepts encrypted binary data it is provided and decrypts it using the cipher key created by the user in the registry. The AES Rijndael decipher protocol is used. The DCO reads the decipher key from the Registry based on the key name provided.

DCO_STRING_KEY_NAME

DCO_BOOL_DECRYPT

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

Removes carriage control from PRR Records. Records which are only carriage control are deleted.

Truncates trailing blanks from records with and without 5A carriage control. If the record does not contain a 5A carriage control, all trailing blanks are truncated on the record. If the record does contain a 5A carriage control, trailing blanks are truncated up to the length specified in the 5A record. The length bytes in the 5A record are the 2 bytes immediately following the 5A byte. The Printer Ready Record length bytes will be adjusted in accordance with the truncation performed.

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

Add the specified delimiter to PRR record.

Converts data to PRR wrapped ASCII records with ASCII carriage control. FCB is used to insert page breaks when the number of lines per page is exceeded. If pagination is disabled then page breaks are not inserted based on the FCB. Conditional page breaks are also inserted at the beginning and end of the data based on the page dirty flag and conditional page break settings.

If the output is optimized then a FF (0x0C) will be used to get to top of form when a page break is inserted. Otherwise the required number of CR LFs (0x0D0A) will be used.

Pad or truncate PRR record to the specified length.

DCO_ULONG_FIXREC_LENGTH

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

Receives PRR formatted records and converts them to the NJE format. This includes spanning, if necessary. The input of this DCO shall be data that is wrapped in PRR records and the output will be that same data wrapped in NJE (host) records.

DCO_STRING_IDEN

DCO_STRING_RSTACK

DCO_STRING_DJDESEARCH

DCO_STRING_DJDEREPLACE

DCO_BOOL_REPLACEBLANKFONTINDEX

Replaces all instances of ASCII CC 0x0D0C (CR FF) with 0x0D0A0C (CR LF FF).

Searches for line data that has machine carriage control skip immediate (0x03) or print and skip immediate (0x01). When this is found, that line is stored and the following line in the stream is examined. A character-by-character comparison is done for the two lines. The character from the first line is used in all cases except when the character in the first line is a space character and when the character in the first line is an underscore ("_") and the character in the second line is NOT a space.

Because the CC must be machine, this DCO should be used after the Mixed2Machine DCO in the DCO chain. This will make sure the search works properly.

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

Combines n PRR records into a single record. It is primarily used for customers upgrading from the DOS product who used the receive mode n ASCII lines.

DCO_BOOL_OVERRIDE_FCB

DCO_ULONG_SEND_FCB

DCO_STRING_RETURN_LAST_FCB (*)

Carriage control Conversion DCO. Converts every data record to a write without spacing and follows this with the appropriate space immediate command. For compatibility with customers who had modified their data streams or printers to use SPUR boxes which generated carriage control like this.

Receives data and removes any character that is specified during initialization. The default behavior of this DCO is to search for NULLs (0x00) and remove them. The character to remove is configurable.

Removes all leading page breaks from a stream of data. The DCO receives data in the Printer Ready Record format. The data is assumed to be in Machine format, so this translates to all leading records with 0x8B carriage control being stripped. The output records are in the PRR record format.

Strips any record which does not contain a Machine Carriage Control (MCC) Print Carriage command (for example, FCB 0x63) from the data stream.

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

DCO_BOOL_STRIP_S370_CC

DCO_BOOL_STRIP_NOOP

DCO_BOOL_STRIP_LOAD_FCB

Accepts PRR records as input and searches for removes UCS buffers. These buffers are identified by the channel commands 0xF3 or 0xFB. Records that are not UCS buffers are not modified. The output records are in the PRR record format.

Strips DJDE records that begin with $$XEROX. This is a custom DCO created for a specific customer with sample data. In all cases the $$XEROX occurred after the CC and first byte of data, so that is where the DCO searches for the text. The DCO also removes page breaks associated with these records, if the record was on a page of its own and its removal would cause a blank page to be left.

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

DCO_ULONG_CPIN

Given data in the PRR form, it removes the carriage control and creates fixed length or variable length card records.
