CC
Specifies whether the input file contains carriage control characters.
- Required
- No
- Default Value
- YES,FIX
- Data Type
- AFP, Line
Carriage control characters, if present, are located in the first byte (column) of each line in a
document. They are used to control how the line is formatted, such as single spaced, double spaced,
triple spaced, and so on. In addition, other carriage control characters can be used to position
the line anywhere on the page. If carriage control characters are not present, the default is single
spacing.
Note: Carriage control characters might cause line data records to contain an odd number of
bytes with UTF-16 encoding.
Syntax
CC={YES | NO | YES,FIX | YES,STRICT | YES,DISCARD | YES,IGNORE}
Options and values
The values are:
- YES
- The input contains carriage control characters. When the input data is AFP, you should set CC=YES and CCTYPE=A. If you used CC=YES in the past and encounter ACIF message APK511W, IBM recommends using CC=YES,IGNORE.
- NO
- The input does not contain carriage control characters.
- FIX
- ACIF allows zero-length records. Single spacing is assumed for these records. If FIX is specified, FIX is also used for the TRC parameter.
- STRICT
- ACIF requires strict adherence to the carriage control and table reference character requirements that are documented in the AFP Programming Guide and Line Data Reference. Records are required to contain carriage control characters if CC=YES and table reference characters if TRC=YES. If STRICT is specified, STRICT is also used for the TRC parameter.
- DISCARD
- ACIF discards zero-length records. If DISCARD is specified, DISCARD is also used for the TRC parameter.
- IGNORE
- ACIF allows zero-length records, does not correct, and does not report missing carriage control bytes. Single spacing is assumed for these records. If IGNORE is specified, IGNORE is also used for the TRC parameter. If this parameter is not specified, ACIF assumes that the file contains carriage control characters.
