Code Example

In the following example, User Data Type UTF16 and RECIDLEN 24 are specified on the PAGEDEF command and the RECIDLEN 26 is specified on the second PAGEFORMAT command (pf2).

For the two page formats pf1 and pf2.

1. pf1 inherits a RECIDLEN of 24 bytes from the page definition, and the User Data Type for the entire page definition is UTF-16.
   1. The LAYOUT name Long Name 1 is translated to UTF-16 and padded to 24 bytes with UTF-16.
   2. The delimiter ⁄ (slash) on the LAYOUT is translated to UTF-16.
   3. The FIELD command text abcd is translated to UTF-16.
2. pf2 specifies a RECIDLEN of 26 bytes and gets UDType UTF-16 from the page definition.
   1. The LAYOUT name Long Name 2 is translated to UTF-16 and padded to 26 bytes with UTF-16.
   2. The CONDITION command text ABCDEFGH is translated to UTF-16. Note that the field length of the 8 character string is 16 bytes because each character is 2 bytes long.
