Output on printers in line mode

If you want to output in line mode, the first byte in the KCMF/kcfn field of the KDCS parameter area must be a blank.

In line mode, the message may contain all logical control characters, e.g. for form feed or line feed. You can define these control characters yourself in the program unit and in this way structure the text for the print-out yourself.

On BS2000 systems you can also use edit profiles to present/prepare the messages (see also section "Controlling the output in line mode (BS2000 systems)"). You enter the name of the edit profile in KCMF/kcfn starting at the second byte.

A message terminated by FPUT/DPUT NE is always printed as a separate message. In the case of cut sheet printers, the program must allow users to change sheets themselves for output in line mode (form feed) since the device cannot recognize the end of sheet itself.
