The parameters that you can assign are -g, -r, -t, and -x. These parameters
correspond to a subset of the processing parameters that you can specify with the
pdxtx2afp command.
These rules apply to the parameter mapping file:
v You must use lowercase keyword names in the mapping file: class, dest, forms,
jobid, or jobname.
v The values for the keywords are case-sensitive. For example, prt1 and PRT1 are
two distinct values.
v You can use asterisks and question marks as wildcard characters for keyword
values. You can also use brackets to specify ranges of characters:
– To specify all jobs whose names begin with ORB:
jobname=ORB*
– To specify all jobs with a destination of PRT, followed by any three
characters:
dest=PRT???
– To specify all jobs with a class value of any single character from A through
M:
class=[A-M]
v You cannot use wildcard characters or regular expressions to define the keyword
to match. For example, job* is not valid for matching both the jobid and
jobname keywords.
v InfoPrint XT ignores blank lines and comment lines. Lines that begin with a
number sign, #, are comments.
v All keyword=value pairs must start in column one. The expression must include
the equal sign, =, and the expression cannot contain spaces.
v Parameter lines cannot start in column one; use at least one space before the
parameter.
v When a keyword match occurs, InfoPrint XT applies all the parameter lines that
follow, up to the next keyword line or the end of the file.
v You cannot include comments on keyword lines or parameter lines.
v Two or more keywords on a single line represent an and condition. Jobs must
match all keywords to use the associated parameters.
v Two or more keywords on separate lines represent an or condition. Jobs can
match any one of the keywords to use the associated parameters.
v InfoPrint XT checks each keyword group in the file. A job can match more than
one keyword group, so it uses parameters from several groups. For the -g, -r,
and -t parameters, if the job matches several keywords groups that specify the
same parameter, InfoPrint XT uses the value from the last group. For the -x
parameter, InfoPrint XT merges all different conversion parameters together in
the final pdxtx2afp command. For example, if one keyword group specifies -x
xcopies=5 and another specifies -x xclb=pay1, InfoPrint XT includes both
xcopies and xclb in the final command. If more than one keyword group
specifies the same parameter, for example -x xjdl=strton and -x xjdl=dpljdl,
InfoPrint XT uses the last value.
Figure 2 on page 28 is an example of a completed parameter mapping file.
