PDL principles and procedures
1-16 Using LCDS Print Description Language
PDL command categories
PDL commands are classified according to their functional
categories: input, logical processing, or output (print formatting)
commands. DJDEs are in a separate category, because they are
specified in the data stream instead of a JSL. Descriptions of the
commands are listed according to command category, within the
following chapters:
• “Specifying input parameters”
• “Using logical processing”
• “Specifying print format parameters”
• “DJDE descriptions”
For a summary of all commands, refer to:
• “PDL command and DJDE summary” (appendix A)
• “PDL command quick reference” (appendix B)
