With InfoPrint Manager for AIX or InfoPrint Manager for Linux, if you need guidance in passing the line2afp command option syntax through the shell, see the documentation for the shell you are using in your online documentation.

The next table shows the line2afp command options that specify resource names or resource directories, and the corresponding AIX print command options and InfoPrint attributes:

For these options, you should specify the same value with the line2afp command as you specify to InfoPrint when you submit the print job or predefine for the physical printer where the job prints. In this way, the search paths and resources used at transform time are identical to the search paths and resources used at print time.

In addition to the usual command notational conventions, the line2afp command follows these additional rules. These rules apply to options you type at the command line. See also the parmdd option for the syntax of options contained in the line2afp option file.

• When the line2afp command processes any unrecognized or unsupported option, line2afp issues a message, ignores the option, and continues processing any remaining options. The line2afp command then stops processing.
• With InfoPrint Manager for AIX or InfoPrint Manager for Linux, though the options themselves are not case-sensitive, associated values, such as file names, attribute names, and directory names are case-sensitive. For example,

  formdef=F1MINE

  is not the same as

  formdef=f1mine

  Be sure to specify these values in the case in which they exist in the file system (for external resources) or in the print file (for inline resources).

• If the same option is specified more than one time, the line2afp command uses the last value specified. For example, if you specify:

  pagedef=P1MINE
  pagedef=P1YOURS

  the line2afp command uses page definition P1YOURS only.
