AFP to Line Data command

For an application with a data type of AFP, the ARSXAFP program can be used to convert the AFP documents to line data so that the CICS/ESA client program can display the document on a 3270, line-mode terminal.

You can use the AFP to Line Data Command field to type the parameters and values that describe certain characteristics of the file. For example, you can specify the orientation of the data on the page, the number of print lines per inch, and the height and width of the page.

The following example shows a set of AFP to Line Data Command parameters. In the example, Content Manager OnDemand creates a line data file with 8 print lines per inch, page dimensions of 11 inches by 8.5 inches, and text rotated 90 degrees. The -f flag specifies the directory in which the ARSXAFP program can locate font and code page files required for the conversion.

-l 8 -w 11 -h 8.5 -o 90 -f /usr/lpp/psf/reslib

See the Administrator's Guide for more information about the ARSXAFP program and details about the parameters and values that you can specify to convert AFP documents to line data for viewing on a 3270, line-mode terminal. You can specify a maximum of 1024 bytes.
