Controlling the default arguments when you process the ink correlation table (PDXTCOLOR_ARGS)

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

You can change the default values that Infoprint XT uses for the options of the pdxtcolor command. You use this command to manage the ink correlation table (see Using the pdxtcolor command to manage the Infoprint XT ink correlation table). You can use the PDXTCOLOR_ARGS environment variable to specify new default values for the options. For example, you might want the default value for the -m option to be A4 instead of letter.

Use these formats for the value of the PDXTCOLOR_ARGS variable:
  • To specify a single option and value:
    PDXTCOLOR_ARGS='-g payroll'
  • To specify multiple options and associated values, enclose the options and values in single quotation marks:
    PDXTCOLOR_ARGS='-m A4 -p no -s all'
  • To specify an option whose value contains embedded blanks, use a combination of single and double quotation marks:
    PDXTCOLOR_ARGS='-k "midnight blue":lab:15:-50:-65' 
  • To specify one or more options with associated values and an option whose value contains embedded blanks, also use a combination of single and double quotation marks:
    PDXTCOLOR_ARGS='-m A4 -e "dfault.green.very light green":k:lab:90:-30:10'
