PURPOSE
: JT-Weave interleaves records for n-up
printing.
USAGE
: JT-Weave Infile Outfile Rpp [Ppb] [DEBUG]
Infile
: ASCII Delimited or dBase data file.
Outfile : interleaved ASCII or
dBase data file.
Rpp : The number of records per
page.
Rpb : The number of pages per
batch.
If Rpb is 0. the entire file will be a batch
DEBUG
: An optional field used only for ASCII
input files.
If set, DEBUG will cause annotations will be made
in the output file.
ASCII
files must have each record terminated with a
CR LF characters.
This includes comma-quote, tab delimited, and
similar organizations.
dBase
II and dBase III files use standard formats.
Inactive dBase records are removed before interleaving.
JT-Weave
reads the input file into memory. Based on the
Ppb and Ppp parameters it resequences the file
so that multiple records may be printed on pages
which are arranged so that when printed rpp records
on a page, they can be cut up in ppb stacks to
create sequential stacks. Null records will be
added to the output file to insure whole pages
are printed properly at the end of the file.
This
program is limited to 4,000,000 records and
32,000 bytes per record. Your available memory
may further limit this.
