Indexing limitations

For a line data or XML application that does not contain the appropriate data values in the application output and for which literal values are not suitable, the application program cannot insert tagging structured fields in the print data because tagging structured fields are not allowed in mixed-mode data. In the case where the application data does not contain the necessary appropriate data values for indexing, the application can add the index triggers. One possible location is the record that contains the new-page carriage control character (for example, a skip-to-channel 1). The application must add the indexing trigger and attribute value to this record at a specified location on each statement in the print file. This addition lets ACIF retrieve this information at processing time. (For information about different types of carriage control characters, see CCTYPE for a description of the parameter.)
