Description

Parameters

Afp2PRRDCO

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.

NONE

ASA2PRRDCO

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

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

ASA2noFFPRRDCO

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

DCO_ULONG_CP_CURRENT

Ascii2DosAsciiDCO

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

NONE

Ascii2PRRDCO

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

AsciiDec2PRRDCO

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

DCO_ULONG_COMPRESS_LEVEL

DCO_BOOL_COMPRESS

Binary2EncryptPRRDCO

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

Binary2HostDCO

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 Barr Enterprise Print Server spool.

Binary2PRRDCO

Wraps portions of binary data in the PRR record format.

DCO_ULONG_LRECL

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

NONE

PRR25ATruncateDCO

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

PRR2AddDelimDCO

Add the specified delimiter to PRR record.

DCO_STRING_FIXREC_DELIM

PRR2AsciiDCO

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

PRR2MergeOverprintsDCO

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_SEND_FCB

DCO_STRING_RETURN_LAST_FCB (*)

NONE

PRR2StripCharsDCO

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.

DCO_ULONG_STRIPCHAR

PRR2StripLeadPageBreaksDCO

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.

NONE

PRR2StripNonPrintMCCDCO

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

NONE

PRR2StripXeroxDCO

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.
