Filter options for the aoprxf.so filter

You can specify these filter options for the aoprxf.so filter:

%filter-options

Causes any option that a job submitter specified in the filter-options job attribute to be passed directly to the transform.

You can type %filter-options in any position relative to other filter options. If you specify any options to the right of %filter-options, those options override the same options that were specified in the filter-options job attribute, with the exception of any options that are cumulative. If an option is cumulative, the transform applies all occurrences of the option.

%xf-options

Causes transform attributes that a job submitter specified in the xf-options job attribute to be used.

You can type %xf-options in any position relative to -xf option. If you specify the -xf option to the right of %xf-options, the transform attributes specified in the -xf option override the transform attributes that were specified in the xf-options job attribute.

-xf "transformattributes"

In this option, you can specify one or more of these transform attributes:

• fail-on-datastream-error=yes | no
• output-format=pdf | modca-p
• trailer-error-page=yes | no
• transform-id=transform_ID

For a description of these transform attributes, see z/OS Infoprint Server User’s Guide.

Rules:

• Specify attributes in this format: attribute=value.
• If you specify more than one attribute, separate the attributes with a space.
• You can abbreviate the attribute names and values.
• Use the exact uppercase and lowercase letters for the attribute and values.
• If the -xf value contains any spaces, enclose the entire value in single or double quotation marks.
• You can specify the -xf option multiple times. If you specify the same attribute multiple times, the last value specified for the attribute is used.

Examples:

aoprxf.so -xf "fail-on-datastream-error = yes"
aoprxf.so -xf "fail-on-datastream-error=yes trailer-error-page=no"
aoprxf.so -xf fail-on-datastream-error=yes -xf trailer-error-page=no

option

Any option that the transform accepts. Separate multiple options with a space. For information about the options, see the documentation for the transform.

Tips:

• Infoprint Server does not check the syntax of these options. It passes them directly to the transform.
• Some of the InfoPrint Transform Manager for Linux transform options are different from the transform options you can specify with IBM® transforms. For example, the InfoPrint Transform Manager for Linux -a option, which specifies the type of IOCA image to create, accepts different values. Also, the InfoPrint Transform Manager for Linux transforms use different abbreviations for millimeters (m), inches (i), and pels (pels).

  Examples:

  ps2afp.dll -l 297mm -w 210mm -r 240 -a io1-g4
  aoprxf.so -l 297m -w 210m -r 240 -a IO1_G4

• The InfoPrint Transform Manager for Linux transforms, by default, create AFP records that are 32K bytes in length. To set the maximum number of bytes in a record to 8K, specify this -pragma option:

  -xf -pragma afpdsrecordlength=8000

  To create 8K records, you must specify 8000, which is actually less than 8K. This is because the length of the actual AFP records is greater than the value specified in the -pragma option.
