SMBMSG$K_ACCOUNT_NAME
This code identifies a string containing the name of the account
to be charged for the job, that is, the account of the process
that submitted the print job.
SMBMSG$K_AFTER_TIME
This code identifies a 64-bit, absolute-time value specifying the
system time after which the job controller can process this job.
SMBMSG$K_ALIGNMENT_PAGES
This code identifies a longword specifying the number of
alignment pages that the symbiont is to print.
SMBMSG$K_BOTTOM_MARGIN
This code identifies a longword containing the number of lines to
be left blank at the bottom of a page.
The symbiont inserts a form feed character into the output stream
if it determines that all of the following conditions are true:
o The number of lines left at the bottom of the page is equal to
the value in SMBMSG$K_BOTTOM_MARGIN.
o Sending more data to the printer to be output on this page
would cause characters to be printed within this bottom margin
of the page.
o The /FEED qualifier was specified with the PRINT command that
caused the symbiont to perform this task.
(Line feed, form feed, carriage-return, and vertical-tab
characters in the output stream are collectively known as
embedded carriage control.)
SMBMSG$K_CHARACTERISTICS
This code identifies a 16-byte structure specifying
characteristics of the job. A detailed description of the format
of this structure is contained in the description of the QUI$_
CHARACTERISTICS code in the $GETQUI system service in the OpenVMS
System Services Reference Manual.
SMBMSG$K_DEVICE_NAME
This code identifies a string that is the name of the device to
which the symbiont is to send data. The symbiont interprets this
information. The name need not be the name of a physical device,
and the symbiont can interpret this string as something other
than the name of a device.
SMBMSG$K_ENTRY_NUMBER
This code identifies a longword containing the number that the
job controller assigned to the job.
SMBMSG$K_EXECUTOR_QUEUE
This code identifies a string that is the name of the queue on
which the symbiont stream is to be started.
SMBMSG$K_FILE_COPIES
This code identifies a longword containing the number of copies
of the file that were requested.
SMBMSG$K_FILE_COUNT
This code identifies a longword that specifies, out of the number
of copies requested for this job (SMBMSG$K_FILE_COPIES), the
number of the copy of the file currently printing.
SMBMSG$K_FILE_IDENTIFICATION
This code identifies a 28-byte structure identifying the file
to be processed. This structure consists of the following three
file-identification fields in the OpenVMS RMS NAM block:
1. The 16-byte NAM$T_DVI field
2. The 6-byte NAM$W_FID field
3. The 6-byte NAM$W_DID field
These fields occur consecutively in the NAM block in the order
listed.
SMBMSG$K_FILE_SETUP_MODULES
This code identifies a string specifying the names (separated by
commas) of one or more text modules that the symbiont should copy
from the library into the output stream before processing the
file.
SMBMSG$K_FILE_SPECIFICATION
This code identifies a string specifying the name of the file
that the symbiont is to process. This file name is formatted as a
standard RMS file specification.
SMBMSG$K_FIRST_PAGE
This code identifies a longword containing the number of the page
at which the symbiont should begin printing. The job controller
sends this item to the symbiont. When not specified, the symbiont
begins processing at page 1.
SMBMSG$K_FORM_LENGTH
This code identifies a longword value specifying the length (in
lines) of the physical form (the paper).
SMBMSG$K_FORM_NAME
This code identifies a string specifying the name of the form.
SMBMSG$K_FORM_SETUP_MODULES
This code identifies a string consisting of the names (separated
by commas) of one or more modules that the symbiont should copy
from the device-control library before processing the file.
SMBMSG$K_FORM_WIDTH
This code identifies a longword specifying the width (in
characters) of the print area on the physical form (the paper).
SMBMSG$K_JOB_COPIES
This code identifies a longword specifying the requested number
of copies of the job.
SMBMSG$K_JOB_COUNT
This code identifies a longword specifying, out of the number of
copies requested (SMBMSG$K_JOB_COPIES), the number of the copy of
the job currently printing.
SMBMSG$K_JOB_NAME
This code identifies a string specifying the name of the job.
SMBMSG$K_JOB_RESET_MODULES
This code identifies a string specifying a list of one or more
module names (separated by commas) that the symbiont should copy
from the device-control library after processing the task. These
modules can be used to reset programmable devices to a known
state.
SMBMSG$K_LAST_PAGE
This code identifies a longword specifying the number of the
last page that the symbiont is to print. When not specified, the
symbiont attempts to print all the pages in the file.
SMBMSG$K_LEFT_MARGIN
This code identifies a longword specifying the number of spaces
to be inserted at the beginning of each line.
SMBMSG$K_LIBRARY_SPECIFICATION
This code identifies a string specifying the name of the device-
control library.
SMBMSG$K_MESSAGE_VECTOR
This code identifies a vector of longword condition codes, each
of which contains information about the job to be printed.
When LOGINOUT cannot open a log file for a batch job, a code in
the message vector specifies the reason for the failure. The job
controller does not send the SMBMSG$K_FILE_IDENTIFICATION item
if it has detected such a failure but instead sends the message
vector, which the symbiont prints, along with a message stating
that there is no file to print.
SMBMSG$K_NOTE
This code identifies a user-supplied string that the symbiont is
to print on the job flag page and on the file flag page.
SMBMSG$K_PAGE_SETUP_MODULES
This code identifies a string consisting of the names (separated
by commas) of one or more modules that the symbiont should copy
from the device-control library before printing each page.
SMBMSG$K_PARAMETER_1 through SMBMSG$K_PARAMETER_8
Each of these eight codes identifies a user-supplied string. Both
the semantics and syntax of each string are determined by the
user-defined symbiont. The OpenVMS-supplied symbiont makes no use
of these eight items.
SMBMSG$K_PRINT_CONTROL
This code identifies a longword bit vector, each bit of which
supplies information that the symbiont is to use in controlling
the printing of the file.
Symbol Description
SMBMSG$V_DOUBLE_SPACE The symbiont uses a double-spaced
format; it skips a line after each
line it prints.
SMBMSG$V_NO_INITIAL_FF The symbiont suppresses the initial
form feed if this bit is turned on.
SMBMSG$V_NORECORD_ The symbiont performs single record
BLOCKING output, issuing a single output record
for each input record.
SMBMSG$V_PAGE_HEADER The symbiont prints a page header at
the top of each page.
SMBMSG$V_PAGINATE The symbiont inserts a form feed
character when it detects an attempt
to print in the bottom margin of the
current form.
SMBMSG$V_PASSALL The symbiont prints the file without
formatting and bypasses all formatting
normally performed. Furthermore, the
symbiont outputs the file without
formatting, by causing the output QIO
to suppress formatting by the driver.
SMBMSG$V_RECORD_BLOCKING The symbiont performs record blocking,
buffering output to the device.
SMBMSG$V_SEQUENCED This bit is reserved by Compaq.
SMBMSG$V_SHEET_FEED The symbiont pauses the queue after
each page it prints.
SMBMSG$V_TRUNCATE The symbiont truncates input lines that
exceed the right margin of the current
form.
SMBMSG$V_WRAP The symbiont wraps input lines that
exceed the right margin, printing the
additional characters on a new line.
SMBMSG$K_PRIORITY
This code identifies a longword specifying the priority this job
has in the queue in which it is entered.
SMBMSG$K_QUEUE
This code identifies a string specifying the name of the queue
in which this job is entered. When generic queues are used, this
item specifies the name of the generic queue, and the SMBMSG$K_
EXECUTOR item specifies the name of the device queue or the
server queue.
SMBMSG$K_RELATIVE_PAGE
This code identifies a signed, longword value specifying the
number of pages that the symbiont is to move forward (positive
value) or backward (negative value) from the current position in
the file.
SMBMSG$K_REQUEST_CONTROL
This code identifies a longword bit vector, each bit of which
specifies information that the symbiont is to use in processing
the request that the job controller is making.
Symbol Description
SMBMSG$V_ALIGNMENT_MASK The symbiont is to replace all
alphabetic characters with the
letter X, and all numeric characters
with the number 9. Other characters
(punctuation, carriage control, and
so on) are left unchanged. This bit is
ordinarily specified in connection with
the SMBMSG$K_ALIGNMENT_PAGES item.
SMBMSG$V_PAUSE_COMPLETE The symbiont is to pause when it
completes the current request.
SMBMSG$V_RESTARTING Indicates that this job was previously
interrupted and requeued, and is now
restarting.
SMBMSG$V_TOP_OF_FILE The symbiont is to rewind the input
file before it resumes printing.
SMBMSG$K_RIGHT_MARGIN
This code identifies a longword specifying the number of
character positions to be left empty at the end of each line.
When the right margin is exceeded, the symbiont truncates the
line, wraps the line, or continues processing, depending on the
settings of the WRAP and TRUNCATE bits in the SMBMSG$K_PRINT_
CONTROL item.
SMBMSG$K_SEARCH_STRING
This code identifies a string containing the value specified in
the START/QUEUE/SEARCH command. This string identifies the page
at which to restart the current printing task on a paused queue.
SMBMSG$K_SEPARATION_CONTROL
This code identifies a longword bit vector, each bit of which
specifies an operation that the symbiont is to perform between
jobs or between files within a job. The $SMBDEF macro defines the
following symbols for each bit:
Symbol Description
SMBMSG$V_FILE_BURST The symbiont is to print a file burst
page.
SMBMSG$V_FILE_FLAG The symbiont is to print a file flag
page.
SMBMSG$V_FILE_TRAILER The symbiont is to print a file trailer
page.
SMBMSG$V_FILE_TRAILER_ The symbiont is to print a file trailer
ABORT page when a task completes abnormally.
SMBMSG$V_FIRST_FILE_OF_ The current file is the first file of
JOB the job. When specified with SMBMSG$V_
LAST_FILE_OF_JOB, the current job
contains a single file.
SMBMSG$V_JOB_FLAG The symbiont is to print a job flag
page.
SMBMSG$V_JOB_BURST The symbiont is to print a job burst
page.
SMBMSG$V_JOB_RESET The symbiont is to execute a job reset
sequence when the task completes.
SMBMSG$V_JOB_RESET_ABORT The symbiont is to execute a job
reset sequence when a task completes
abnormally.
SMBMSG$V_JOB_TRAILER The symbiont is to print a job trailer
page.
SMBMSG$V_JOB_TRAILER_ The symbiont is to print a job trailer
ABORT page when a task completes abnormally.
SMBMSG$V_LAST_FILE_OF_ The current file is the last file of
JOB the job. When specified with SMBMSG$V_
FIRST_FILE_OF_JOB, the current job
contains a single job.
SMBMSG$K_STOP_CONDITION
This code identifies a longword containing a condition specifying
the reason the job controller issued a STOP_TASK request.
SMBMSG$K_TIME_QUEUED
This code identifies a quadword specifying the time the file was
entered into the queue. The time is expressed as 64-bit, absolute
time.
SMBMSG$K_TOP_MARGIN
This code identifies a longword specifying the number of lines
that the symbiont is to leave blank at the top of each page.
PRTSMB inserts line feeds into the output stream after every form
feed until the margin is cleared.
