SAS distributes font
files for use by the universal printer GIF driver as native
z/OS files
with the following characteristics:
-
Data Set Organization (DSORG) =
PS
-
Record Format (RECFM) = FBS
-
Logical Record Length (LRECL) =
1.
In this format, the
FONTREG procedure requires the FONTFILE statement. All other statements
for this procedure require a directory specification, which is incompatible
with native
z/OS files. Also, omitting all statements implies a directory
search of the directory specified by the FONTSLOC= system option.
The specification for the FONTSLOC= option for native
z/OS files
does not specify a directory.
The font files can be
copied to the UNIX file system. Placing the font files in a UFS directory
allows full functionality of the FONTREG procedure, with support for
all statements. Also, if no statement is supplied, the specification
of the FONTSLOC= system option for UFS allows for a directory specification.
