DDS for printer files
You can define any code point except hex 00. When you define a code
point, you can do one of the following:
- Redefine an existing character. If you then attempt to print that
character, the alternate character is printed. Example 1 uses such a
code point.
- Define a character for an unassigned code point (for which there is no
existing character in your system character set). Example 2 uses such
code points.
If you redefine an existing character, select which character to print (the
existing character or the redefined character) by specifying option indicators
for the DFNCHR keyword. If you select DFNCHR, the user-defined
character is printed. If you do not select DFNCHR, the existing
character is printed.
- Note:
- Output operations run faster when you define an unassigned code point.
An unassigned code point avoids the reloading of code points when your program
selects different DFNCHR keywords.
