*ADVSPOOLFILE95A (SETMODE)

9.5B

*ADVSPOOLFILE95A={nvar | ivar | dnum}

The *ADVSPOOLFILE95A control generates an Advanced Print spoolfile to be compatible with the 9.5A or earlier runtimes when used with a value of one (1). In this case, the spoolfile format is restricted to a size of 4GB and does not implement any picture optimization. If this keyword is set to a value of zero, the runtime generates an Advanced Print spoolfile format that allows the spoolfile to grow to a size larger than 4GB. In addition, any one PICT object image that is used repeatedly in the printed output is automatically optimized to only be stored once in the spoolfile as long as the PICT object is not changed or recreated during the printing process. If this keyword is not set, the default operation by the runtime is the same as when the keyword value is zero.

The intended use of the *ADVSPOOLFILE95A keyword is to allow a users application to generate spoolfiles that can be used by runtimes older than the 9.5B patch release.
