Processing Output Data
Chapter 3 51
Directory
The host sends output directed to this device to a new
file in a directory specified in the configuration. The file
is named RJE_abcdef, where abcdef represents a string
of six alphabetic digits. The host creates file names in
alphabetic order, but not necessarily in consecutive
order.
If you specify the pdir_passthrough option, PDIR
information is written to a file that has the same name
as the output file but with extension .i. The format of
the file is as described in the previous section.
Program
Output directed to this output device is used as the
standard input to an executable program or shell
script, whose name and path are specified in the
configuration.
Note that the program does not start until it has
successfully received all the data for a job. If an error
occurs during receipt of the data, the program will not
start.
If you specify the pdir_passthrough option, the
parameters from the first received PDIR pass to the
program as parameters. The program can then use the
values of these parameters to determine how to process
the data. See “Using Output Programs” below for more
information.
The path name of thetemporary output file being piped
to the program is also passed as a parameter to the
program. The PDIR file for this output can be derived
by adding the .i extension. If there are no PDIR
parameters, the path name will be the only parameter.
If there are PDIR parameters, it will be the last
parameter.
File
Output is sent to a file whose name and path are
specified in the configuration of the output device. If a
subsequent job specifies the same output device, its
