Infoprint XT JSL (Job Source Library) Metrics Compiler

This compiler produces reformatted environment control resource files from JSL files.

The JSL Metrics Compiler performs these tasks:

Reads and parses JSL files that can exist in any of these formats:
- LF-delimited ASCII text files
- CRLF-delimited ASCII text files
- EBCDIC text files
- Binary 80-byte card image format files

Creates reformatted binary environment control file resources in the formats used by Infoprint XT during data stream conversions. Table 1 shows the existing relationships between original Xerox environment control resource types and the corresponding reformatted resource types that Infoprint XT creates by using the pdxtloadres command. The pdxtpdl command creates these same reformatted resource types when it compiles JSL files.

Table 1. Original Xerox environment control resource types and corresponding reformatted resource types created with pdxtloadres command
Original Xerox Resource Type	Reformatted Resource in
file_name.jdl	file_name.ajd
file_name.cme	file_name.ace
file_name.pde	file_name.apd
file_name.stk	file_name.ast
file_name.tst	file_name.ats

Note: The pdxtpdl command does not create JDLs, CMEs, PDEs, STKs or TSTs in their original Xerox formats when it compiles JSLs. The reformatted resources that the pdxtpdl command creates cannot be used to print jobs on a Xerox printer.
