Banner properties

Recognition properties

Lists banner recognition text strings and their locations. You can use the check boxes to enable or disable the header and trailer search strings as necessary. BARR/Print Ficon searches the selected header and/or trailer section for unique text strings that identify the banner page. BARR/Print Ficon searches the range of line numbers you indicate at the specified column.

Make sure your search string appears only within the valid range of lines on the banner. For example, suppose your search string is **START**, and this line appears on lines 29 and 50 of the banner. If your FCB specifies only 48 lines per page, the second instance of the search string is considered to be on a new page. BARR/Print Ficon will think it is getting a new job, and the previous job will be closed.

Properties button – Displays the selected entry's recognition properties. You can modify the settings on the Ficon Recognition Properties dialog box.

Field extraction

Lists the fields you want BARR/Print Ficon to extract from the header banner page. You can configure BARR/Print Ficon to extract useful parameters such as job name, form name, FCB name, copies, priority, and class. Specify the location of these parameters on the header banner page relative to the line on which the program finds banner-matching text.

You can only extract fields within the number of lines specified in the current FCB.
