to note
• The first ink in the ILIST parameter is the default unless it is
overridden by an IDFAULT parameter.
• The maximum number of ink names that may be specified in
the ILIST parameter is 64.
• If an IDR parameter is not specified in the OUTPUT
command or if the IDR that is specified does not exist, the
system supplies DFIDR.IDR as the system default IDR.
DFIDR.IDR is a standard file that is provided with the system
software. It contains the definition of the system default
‘BLACK’ ink, specified by the following command:
DFIDR: IDR ILIST = ‘BLACK‘;
• When the VOLUME command CODE=NONE parameter is
specified, an ILIST parameter referencing a highlight color
primary causes the entire report to print in highlight mode. If
ILIST references only black ink, the report prints in black
mode.
