Line data

Line data is application data that is prepared for printing without any data placement or presentation information. Line data can be either traditional line data or record format line data. Traditional line data is data that is prepared for printing on a line printer. Record format line data is a form of line data where each record is preceded by a variable length identifier.

ACIF formats line data into pages by using a page definition (PAGEDEF) resource. For more information about line data, see Advanced Function Presentation: Programming Guide and Line Data Reference, S544-3884.
