Header Fields - Data Set Header LPD/User Custom Section

Fields in this custom section are maintained by the Barr software, primarily when jobs are received with an LPD program. Users can change the field values for LPD and non-LPD files. For example, you can use the job record fields LPD creates to route the job to a specific destination or print fields on the banner page. The LPD/User Custom Section is identified by these values: Major type = X’E7’, Modifier =0, and Code value = X’42415252’.
