APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY

printer, ensuring that the last logical page from one job

and the first logical page of the next job are not printed

on the same physical page.
When the 5250 ALLY is calculating automatic page

orientation, the setting of the initial condition set

determines how page size will be calculated. If the ic

parameter is set to 01h (Word Processing), then the page

size is determined by the settings of the last received Set

Presentation Page Size (SPPS) command. If the ic

parameter is set to FFh (Data Processing), then the page

width is determined by Maximum Print Position (MPP)

divided by CPI, and the page height is determined by

Maximum Print Line (MPL) divided by LPI.

Action:

Sets horizontal Tab characteristics and positions.
The ff parameter specifies the type of Tab stops. If the ff

parameter value is 00h, the Tab stops are column

(floating) positions. If the ff parameter value is 01h, the

Tab stops are fixed positions.
The a1 and a2 parameters are not used but must be

present. All Tab stops are specified by sets of three bytes

each.
The tab1 and tab2 parameters are either column or fixed

positions. For floating Tabs, the tab1 and tab2

parameters are the column numbers relative to the left

margin. For fixed Tabs, the tab1 and tab2 parameters are

the Tab positions in 1/1440-inch units relative to the left

margin.
If this command specifies no Tab positions, all current

Tab positions are cleared.
