PRT400CAL PRINT i5/OS CALENDAR TAACALA |
The Print i5/OS Calendar command prints an 8 and 1/2 by 11 page for
each month in a specified year between 1940 and 2039. Columns and
rows are drawn. Command options allow tailoring of the calendar
including entering your own personal dates. The intent is to provide
personal hard copy calendars.
A typical command would be:
PRT400CAL YEAR(2009)
PRT400CAL has no relation to the Office Vision calendar support.
Standard descriptions of some of the dates appear in the calendar
such as Christmas and the US Labor Day. You may add your own
descriptions, change a description, or blank out a description.
The characters used to print the horizontal rows or the vertical bars
may be changed on the command.
A consecutive day count is optionally printed in the lower right hand
portion of each day unless overlaid by a date description.
The previous month and next month print at the bottom of each page as
just rows of dates in 7 columns. The TAA Tool of the month prints at
the bottom of each month.
Sequence of descriptions
------------------------
The sequence of date descriptions that print is:
- Date descriptions you have entered
- Fixed dates such as Christmas
- Floating dates such as the US Mothers Day
The first MMDD value found is the description that will print. If
you want to a blank description, enter the MMDD value and *BLANK as
the description (see the EXTRADATE parameter).
Saving your command
-------------------
If you enter a complex command with several of your own EXTRADATE
values (such as birthdays), you can save your command for use next
year with the FAVCMD tool. See the discussion with the FAVCMD tool.
You must first ensure that a FAVCMDP file exists, then enter:
PRT400CAL ...
ADDFAVCMD FAVID(xxx)
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
YEAR The calendar year to be printed. It must be a year
between 1940 and 2039.
HORCHAR The horizontal character used to print the rows. A
period sign ('.') is the default.
VERCHAR The vertical character used to print the columns. A
period sign ('.') is the default.
PRTFILE The printer file that is used. QPRINT is the
default. The library qualifier defaults to *LIBL.
DAYOFYEAR A *YES/*NO value that defaults to *YES meaning to
print the running day of the year in the lower right
hand corner of each day.
DAYDESCRP A *YES/*NO value that defaults to *YES meaning to
print the text descriptions of the special days such
as 'Christmas' in the last line of each date box.
The description may be long enough to overlay the
running day of year.
TAATOOL A *YES/*NO value that defaults to *YES meaning to
print TAA Tool information at the bottom of the page
on each side. Specifying *NO, eliminates printing
of the PRT400CAL indication on the left and the TAA
Tool of the month on the right.
EXTRADATE A list of up to 60 extra dates and descriptions that
will appear in the calendar. For example, you may
want to enter special birthdays or local holidays.
Each date entry requires a date in the format of
MMDD and up to 12 bytes of description.
Your date descriptions take precedence over the
standard descriptions provided. For example, if you
enter a description of 1225 (MMDD), your description
will appear instead of 'Christmas'.
If a description appears in the Calendar that you
want to blank out, enter the special value *BLANK.
