Input
Text-based data files such as Line Printer Emulation and ASCII Emulation data files, which
contain HPPCLcontrol characters.
Processing
All HPPCLcharacters are removed from the data file. Note that these characters are not
interpreted, only stripped out.
Output
The modified data file, with stripped characters, is output from this task. Metadata, job infos and
variables are not modified.
Properties
General tab
l
Process job using ASCII emulation: Select to use the ASCII emulation to process the
job file. This reverses LF-CR end-of-line sequences that may result in unwanted double-
spacing.
l
Remove and convert HP escape characters: Select to filter HP escape character
sequences from the job file.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page731.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
