 Acknowledgements

Individuals
We would like to acknowledge the following individuals. Through their suggestions, testing, and code
contributions, TXT2PDF has become a much better product overall.

Leland Lucius: For the TXT2PDF REXX code and the T2PINIT, T2PARC4, T2PMD5, and
T2PTERM assembler code.

Lionel B. Dyck: For creating XMITIP without which the original TXT2PDF code would have
remained hidden in some other homegrown applications and never seen the light of day. (Not to
mention his already established distribution channels. Lionel has also contributed the TXT2PDFI ISPF
dialog and this document, for which you should be extremely thankful. I hate doing documentation

Andy W. Robertson: For fixing and enhancing the original escaping code and translation tables.

A. Harry Williams: For adding the original CMS and Regina support without which TXT2PDF
would still be running on OS/390 only.

Neal E. K. Gooch: For fixing some environment handling issues, adding Object REXX compatibility,
and contributing the initial multi-level indexing code.

Felipe Cvitanich: For contributing the PDFXLIB EXEC making it much easier to create the external
translation table.

Len Steele: For major testing, feature suggestions, and making me think about other things “the right
way.”

Frank M. Ramaekers Jr.: For giving all you VMers compression and encryption by doing a pretty
darn good job of converting and generalizing the assembler routines.

And many more: See the EXEC for a list of all contributors and the list of changes for their
contribution. (Gettin‟ to be too many to list here. ;-))

Routines
Several routines used by TXT2PDF were located on the Internet and we‟d like to thank their authors
for publishing them. Any and all rights to these routines remain with the original authors.

The Cos(), Pi(), Sin(), Sqrt() and QSort() routines were culled from the "Album of Algorithms and
Techniques" by Vladimir Zabrodsky. If you use REXX, you HAVE to check this out:

www.geocities.com/zabrodskyvlada/aat

Peter Butler (pbutler1@ix.netcom.com) posted the Atan() function to sci.math.num-analysis in 1995.

 Introduction
The TXT2PDF utility is used to convert a text file into a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. It has
many options to control the conversion, output appearance, and final presentation. Some of the
features include:

 Annotations
 Outline Generation
 Color Control
 Several Background Options
 Viewer Control

The following features are only available on OS/390, z/OS, and z/VM platforms:

 Encryption (will come to other platforms in the future)

 Compression

The following feature is only available on OS/390 and z/OS:

 ISPF Dialog

The ISPF Dialog features of interest are:

 Prompted creation of the TXT2PDF options

 Foreground and Batch processing options
 Easy modeling for production batch JCL
 Support for FTP and E-Mail of the generated report
 Creation of Configuration file

While the original design was simply to convert OS/390 reports to PDF prior to emailing, TXT2PDF
has been generalized and adapted to other platforms including Linux, VM, and Windows. All that is
required is a REXX interpreter or compiler on the target platform.

Not sure about the load modules within the z/VM environment – awaiting word from someone who
knows z/VM.

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 7 of 54 4/18/2009

 TXT2PDF: The Command
TXT2PDF is a standard command line utility and must be executed from a standard command line
interface on the appropriate platform. For OS/390 and z/OS it is a standard TSO command and must
therefore be executed while logged in or in batch using the batch terminal monitor program (TMP).
See the Examples section for examples of the JCL which can be used.

The complete syntax is:

TXT2PDF IN <input filespec>

OUT <output filespec>
ANNOT <type> / <type spec>
BG <type> / <type spec>
BM <bottom margin>
BROWSE <browse messages>
CC <carriage control>
COLOR <fore> / <back >
COMPRESS <level>
CONFIG <config filespec>
CONFIRM <level>
DELIM <character>
DINFO <document info filespec>
DRAW <type> / <specs>
ENCODING <func> / <specs>
ENCRYPT <type> / <opts>
FONT <size> / <name> / <zoom>
HLQ <hlq>
IFEMPTY <option>
IMAGE <func> / <name> / <specs>
LM <left margin>
LPI <line per inch>
MAG <level>
MAXOSIZE <max output size|0>
MSGID <prefix messages>
MSGLVL <msgnum> / <msglvl>
OLOPT <option/...>
OLSORT <direction>
OLTOK <token>
ORIENT <orientation>
OUTLINE <type> / <args>
OUTREC <len>
PAGE <mode> / <layout>
PAPER <size> / <type> / <style>
RM <right margin>
TM <top margin>
TRANS <style> / <dur> / <opts/...>
UNITS <unit of measure>
VIEWER <flags/...>
VONLY <opt>
XFONT <type> / <opts>

The command syntax is keyword followed by an option with no intervening equal sign. If the option
contains embedded blanks then the entire option must be enclosed in quotes.

Under TSO, and ISPF, all data set names are processed using the standard TSO and ISPF conventions.
This means that if a TSO PREFIX is different from the Userid then that PREFIX will be used when
accessing data set names that are not fully qualified and enclosed within quotes.

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 8 of 54 4/18/2009

 IN
The IN keyword defines the input file that will be converted to PDF format. Any valid file
specification for the platform is allowed.

On platforms that have “standard” input and output files, you may omit this parameter and the input
text will be read from “standard” input. This includes the CMS environment when TXT2PDF is run as
a PIPELINE stage.

Syntax: IN file-specification

Examples: z/OS: IN „userid.report.text‟

IN DD:ddname
IN report.text

z/VM: IN report.text.a

Others: IN report.txt

OUT
The OUT keyword defines the file that will be created from the conversion of the input file. The file
specification is any valid file specification for the platform.

On platforms that have “standard” input and output files, you may omit this parameter and the output
PDF file will be written to “standard” output. This includes the CMS environment when TXT2PDF is
run as a PIPELINE stage.

Syntax: OUT file-specification

Examples: z/OS: OUT „userid.report.text‟

OUT DD:ddname
OUT report.text

z/VM: OUT report.text.a

Others: OUT report.txt

ANNOT
Annotations are similar to yellow post-it notes that are placed within a document.

Syntax: ANNOT TEXT/page/row/col/state/text

page On what page should the note be placed:

First F On first page only

Last L On the last page only
All A On all pages
Default: ALL

row the row, or line, on the page where the note will be placed
Default: 1

col the column where the note will be placed. This is only
approximate as TXT2PDF does not have the font metrics for
an exact placement.
Default: 1

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 9 of 54 4/18/2009

 state the initial display state of the note specified as:

Open O causes the note to be open

Default: 1

text the text for the sticky note

Examples: ANNOT Text/1/1/1/O/sample-text

ANNOT “T/1/1/1/C/Sample Text” Quotes are needed to include the blanks

BG
The background will be drawn before the text of the document and this allows you to specify as many
backgrounds as you like. They will be placed in the order you specify.

The STREAM background allows you to include valid PDF stream content from an external file, while
the TEXTMARK and TMARK types produce an effect similar to a watermark.

Syntax: BG STREAM/file-specification
BG TEXTMARK/style/text-color/fill-color/opacity/text
BG TMARK/style/text-color/fill-color/opacity/font-size/text
BG TMARK/style/text-color/fill-color/opacity/font-name/font-size/text

Examples: COLOR Black/White the default

COLOR Y/N for Yellow text and Navy background
COLOR 00FF00 green

COMPRESS
Defines a level of compression from level 0 (none) to level 9 (maximum).

Syntax: COMPRESS level

Default: 0

Example: COMPRESS 2

CONFIG
The CONFIG keyword defines a file containing additional parameters. Everything in this file will be
processed as if it had been included as arguments to the TXT2PDF command. Any arguments on the
TXT2PDF command will override parameters in the Config file. Nested Config files are also
supported. Comments are statements with an * in column 1. Continuation is by either a blank dash “ –“
combination or a plus “+” at the end of a record.

No N for quiet mode (no messages)
Verbose V for extensive messages

Default: Yes

Examples: CONFIRM Yes

CONFIRM V

DEFCFG
Defines the name of the default config file as used by the CONFIG parameter. This does not actually
cause inclusion. The specified file will be included only if there are no command line parameters.

You would normally use this in your TXT2PDFD EXEC.

Syntax: DEFCFG file-specification

Default: none

Examples: DEFCFG „userid.txt2pdf.config‟

DEFCFG DD:ddname
DEFCFG txt2pdf.config.a
DEFCFG c:\winnt\pdfconfig.txt
DEFCFG ~/.txt2pdf

DELIM
The DELIM parameter allows you to change the character used to delimiter between arguments. Any
parameter following this one must use the new specification.

Syntax: DEFLIM character

Examples: DELIM ,

DINFO
Document Information, or DINFO, references a file which contains a name followed by a description
that will be added to the Document Information dictionary within the PDF file.

Syntax: DINFO file-specification

Default: none

Examples: DINFO „userid.pdfdinfo.text‟

DINFO dinfo.txt.a
DINFO c:\pdf\dinfo.txt

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 13 of 54 4/18/2009

 Syntax for the DINFO file:

Bogus – you created this keyword so you must know what it means

DRAW
The DRAW parameter allows you to draw different objects on the page. At this time, you may draw
lines, unfilled rectangles, filled rectangles, static text, and dynamic strings.

To provide the most flexibility, coordinates and sizes are specified in PDF user space units. Each unit
is 1/72 of an inch and the origin is the bottom left of the page. In addition, margins are ignored.

Syntax: DRAW Line/x/y/endx/endy/opacity/fore/thickness/style/doton/dotoff

DRAW Rect/x/y/width/height/opacity/fore/back/thickness/style/doton/dotoff
DRAW Text/x/y/font/size/opacity/fore/back/thickness/style/rotation/zoom/text
DRAW String/x/y/font/size/opacity/fore/back/thickness/style/rotation/zoom/text

Supported types are:

Line Draws a line

Rect Draws a rectangle
Text Draws text
String Draws dynamic text

LINE and RECT:

x The lower left x-axis coordinate.

Default: none

y The lower left y-axis coordinate.

Default: none

endx (LINE only) The upper right x-axis coordinate.

Default: none

endy (LINE only) The upper right y-axis coordinate.

Default: none

width (RECT only) The width of the rectangle.

Default: none

height (RECT only) The height of the rectangle.

Default: none

opacity A value specifying the percentage of opacity the image will

have. A value of 100 will produce a solid image and anything

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 14 of 54 4/18/2009

 less will produce transparent images.
Default: 100%

fore (LINES) Color of the line

(RECT) Color of the outline around the rectangle. Omitting it
will produce a rectangle without a bounding box.
Default: Black

back (RECT) Specifies the background or fill color.

Default: none

thickness The thickness of the line or bounding box.

Default: 0

style (LINE) The type of encaps that will be placed at the

beginning and end of the line. The ROUND and SQUARE
caps project past the line end points so you will need to
account for it when positioning.

Possible values are:

Butt Square ends with no projection

Round Round ends with projection
Square Square ends with projection

Default: Butt

(RECT) The shape used for the corners of the rectangle.

Possible values are:

Miter Pointed (like a picture frame)

Round Rounded
Bevel Like miter, but the points are chopped.

Default: Miter

doton/dotoff These 2 values work together to create lines and bounding

boxes with different dash patterns. Line thickness and cap
style affect the dashes, so it will take a bit of trial and error to
get exactly what you want.

The “doton” value specifies the number of units dashes will

have within the pattern. If you do not specify this, then a
value of 0 will be used.

The “dotoff” value specifies the number of units the gaps will
have between dashes. If you do not specify a “dotoff” value,
it will default to the “doton” value and the result will be same
sized dashes and gaps.

Default: none (solid line)

TEXT and STRING:

x The lower left x-axis coordinate.

Default: none

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 15 of 54 4/18/2009

 y The lower left y-axis coordinate.
Default: none

font The name of the font to use.

Default: Courier

size The size in points

Default: 9

opacity A value specifying the percentage of opacity the text will

have. A value of 100 will produce solid text and anything less
will produce transparent text.
Default: 100%

fore Specifies the color of the outline around the characters.

Default: none

back Specifies the fill color of the characters.

Default: none

thickness The thickness of the line or bounding box.

Default: 0

style The shape used for the corners of the glyphs.

Possible values are:

Miter Pointed (like a picture frame)

Round Rounded
Bevel Like miter, but the points are chopped.

Default: Miter

rotation A value specified in degrees which controls the rotation of the

text. Negative numbers rotate clockwise.
Default: 0

zoom Zoom is a percentage factor used to increase or decrease the

font size.
Default: 100%

text The text to draw.

The value may contain certain format sequences that get

replaced with different values. These sequences fall into 2
categories, date/time and dynamic.

Date and time sequences can be used in both TEXT and

STRING types. The date and time used is that at time of
parsing.

The sequences start with a percent (%) and are followed by

one of:

% - literal percent
a - abbreviated weekday name
A - full weekday name
b - abbreviated month name
B - full month name

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 16 of 54 4/18/2009

 c - format: Sun Oct 26 02:00:00 2003
d - 2 digit day of month (zero padded)
e - 2 digit day of month (space padded)
H - 2 digit (24) hour
I - 2 digit (12) hour
j - 3 digit day of year
m - 2 digit month of year
M - 2 digit minute
p - meridian
S - 2 digit second
w - 1 digit day of the week (0=Sunday)
x - date format: 10/26/03
X - time format: 02:00:00
y - 2 digit year
Y - 4 digit year

Dynamic sequences can only be used with the STRING type.

The values for these sequences change during processing.

The sequences start with an at sign (@) and are followed by

one of:

@ - literal at sign
p - PDF page number (1 based)*

A zero pad and length may be specified for

sequences marked with an “*” like so:

@4p - blank pad page number to 4 bytes

@04p - zero pad page number to 4 bytes

Default: none

Examples: DRAW LINE/0/0/700/600/100/Red

DRAW line/100/300/400/300///4/Round/0/4
DRAW RECT/0/0/700/600/50/Red/Green

DRAW “string/10/600//////////Date %m/%d/%Y – Time %H:%M:%S – Page @4p”

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 17 of 54 4/18/2009

 ENCODING
The ENCODING parameter allows you to define Unicode character map which are used to map
characters in the PDF file to their Unicode equivalents. This is mostly important when using
languages to do not use a Latin character set, but may also be used instead of the translation table in
TXT2PDFX or the one specified via the XLATE parameter.

The UCM files can be obtained from the ICU Project source code repository. Select the desired
mapping and save it as a plain text file. If needed, upload it to either a PDS or sequential file as ASCII
to allow conversion to EBCDIC.

Syntax: ENCODING DEFINE/name/file-specification

DEFINE:

name The name to assign to the encoding. Use this name to

associate the encoding to a font via the XFONT parameter.

file-specification Specifies the file name or dataset name that contains the UCM
format encoding.

Examples:
ENCODING DEFINE/ibm1047/‟userid.stream.data set‟
ENCODING DEFINE/1255/ibm-1255_P100-1995.ucm

ENCRYPT
Encryption enables the securing of the created PDF file. At present only the PDF Standard security is
supported. Note: This option is only supported on OS/390, z/OS, and CMS at this time.

Syntax: ENCRYPT ST/owner/user/key-length/parms

The currently defined encryption types are:

ST Uses PDF standard encryption

ST:

owner A password granting full access to the document. Only the

first 32 characters are used. The rest are ignored.
Default: none

user A password giving the user access to the document based on

the selected parms (see below). It is limited to 32 characters
as well.
Default: none

key-length Specifies the length of the encryption key. Valid values are:

40 40-bit key (all Acrobat versions)

128 128-bit key (Acrobat 5 or above)

Default: 40

parms Controls what the user can do with the document. Specify any
of the following, separated by a “/”:

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 18 of 54 4/18/2009

 NOPRINT NP No printing
NOEDIT NE No editing
NOCOPY NC No copying
NOEDITNOTES NEN No editing notes/forms

NOFILLANDSIGN NFS No fill/sign forms
NOTACCESSIBLE NAC Not accessible
(Not Recommended!)
NOASSEMBLY NAS No insert/rotate/
NOHIRESPRINT NHP No Hires printing
NONE N No permissions

Default: (all permissions)

Examples: ENCRYPT ST/Owner//128/np/ne/nc

ENCRYPT ST/Owner/User/40/ne
ENCRYPT “ST/owner password with blanks//nc”

FONT
Defines the font to be used.

Syntax: FONT size/name/zoom

size Size of the font in points (1/72 of an inch)

Default: 9

name Name of the font defined via the XFONT parameter or one of
the following predefined PDF Type 1 font names:

Times T

TimesItalic TI
TimesBoldItalic TBI
Helvetica H
HelveticaBold HB
HelveticaItalic HI
HelveticaBoldItalic HBI
Courier C
CourierBold CB
CourierItalic CI
CourierBoldItalic CBI
Symbol S
ZapfDingbats Z

Default: Courier

zoom Zoom factor in percent of original font size. Specifying a

percentage less than 100 will cause the font to shrink and a
percentage greater than 100 will cause the font to enlarge.
Default: 100

Examples: FONT 9/Courier/100

FONT 12/TB/50

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 19 of 54 4/18/2009

 HLQ
High level qualifier for OS/390+ data set names. It will be prepended to any DSN not beginning with
a single quote (') or the special "DD:" syntax.

Under TSO, the default value will be the prefix from the current profile. If one is not assigned, the
current userid will be used. If the current prefix and userid are both assigned AND they aren't the
same, both will be used, separated by a period.

Under IRXJCL, the default value will be the current userid, if available.

For all other environments, the default will be null.

Syntax: HLQ high-level-qualifer

Default: (see above)

Examples: HLQ SYS1

 IMAGE
The IMAGE parameter allows you to draw images on the page. Currently, this only includes JPEG
and BMP files but more are planned.

You use the LOAD function to load the image from a file and assign it a name. Then you use the
DRAW or TILE functions to draw the image on the page using the name you assigned.

An advantage of separating the LOAD and DRAW/TILE functions is that you may LOAD several
images in the default configuration file (TXT2PDFD) and they will always be available. Just DRAW
it by name when you need it.

To provide the most flexibility, coordinates are specified in PDF user space units. Each unit is 1/72 of
an inch and the origin is the bottom left of the page. In addition, margins are ignored.

Syntax: IMAGE Load/name/file-specification

IMAGE Draw/name/x/y/opacity/rotation/scalex/scaley/skewx/skewy

 TXT2PDF: The ISPF Dialog

The ISPF dialog is very easy to use and greatly simplifies the coding of the TXT2PDF command, as
the dialog actually reports on the complete syntax of the generated TXT2PDF command. The Batch
Execution Mode option can be used to generate a data set with the TXT2PDF generated command as
well as the necessary JCL. This data set can then be submitted for batch execution or to be copied into
a production job‟s JCL.

Access the ISPF Dialog in one of the following ways:

1. The TXT2PDF command, when entered with no parameters and under ISPF, will invoke the
ISPF dialog.
2. The TXT2PDFI command will directly invoke the ISPF dialog.

Note: the ISPF Dialog interface does not support the following TXT2PDF options: CONFIG, DINFO,
OUTREC, TRANS, UNITS, or VIEWER..

changed.

This allows the user to review the generated TXT2PDF command with the following options:

B Browse the generated JCL and TXT2PDF control statements.

C Copy the generated JCL and TXT2PDF control statements to another
data set. You could use this to copy this into a JCL library where you
could further tailor it and then insert it into a regularly scheduled
production job.
E Edit the generated JCL and TXT2PDF control statements. This allows
you to change the JCL statements and the TXT2PDF control
statements prior to submitting the JCL for batch execution.
J Use this option to modify the predefined JOB statements that are
inserted into the generated JCL.
S Submit the generated JOB for batch execution.
SC Save the configuration options in a sequential Configuration data set,
or member of a Configuration data set.
X Execute the TXT2PDF conversion in the foreground under ISPF.
F Add the necessary JCL step and FTP control statements to the JOB to
FTP the generated PDF to another system.
M Add the necessary JCL step and statements to e-mail the generated
PDF to an e-mail address using XMITIP.

The following is an example of the generated JCL and control statements. The first four statements are
the JOB statements. These statements may be modified while using the J or the E (Edit) options. The
data set name on the SYSEXEC DD statement is dynamically determined based upon the location of
where the TXT2PDF REXX is currently being executed from.

 TXT2PDF: Examples
These examples illustrate some of the capabilities of the TXT2PDF application. To experiment and
learn more about the application use the ISPF front-end which has the ability to generate all of the
TXT2PDF options along with the necessary batch JCL to execute it.

Example 1: This demonstrates creating a PDF document in Portrait orientation with Letter size paper,
using the BlueBar scheme for the paper background. A watermark is created using the BG Textmark
option. This generates text flowing from the bottom up to the top of the page diagonally in 30 point
font size with the characters TXT2PDF. Margins are specified and carriage control is turned off.

In this example a generic inline PROC is used for the batch TSO terminal monitor program. The
STEPLIB is required if the TXT2PDF load modules are not in either the LPA or a Linklist library.

Coding the TXT2PDF command to span records requires a continuation character. This character may
be either a plus (+) or a minus (-) at the end of a statement as shown. The continuation is not required
on the last statement.

 Example 2: This example shows the JCL and control statements generated by the ISPF dialog. In this
example the TXT2PDF processing is followed by an FTP step to transfer the generated report to a
workstation and that is followed by a step to e-mail the report. This demonstrates the power of the
ISPF dialog in generating JCL that can be copied into a production batch job after you have verified
that the generated report is of the desired format.

 Appendix A: Installation
Installation is simple and straightforward. However, since the supported platforms are so dissimilar,
only general instructions will be given. You will need to understand the target system or request
assistance from your support personnel.

Linux and Windows instructions are based on the use of the Regina interpreter. If you are using a
different interpreter on these platforms, you will need to make the appropriate adjustments.

Setting TXT2PDF Defaults: All Platforms

The TXT2PDFD EXEC provides the ability to override the static defaults contained within the main
EXEC. The return value from TXT2PDFD is simply a list of valid keyword/value pairs just as you
would specify them on the command line. All of the keywords are valid and may be specified in any
order.

This EXEC is optional and need not be present.

Basically, the order of value assignment for any of the keywords is:

1) Use value from command line or from files sourced with CONFIG and DEFCFG
2) If not specified on command line, use value from TXT2PDFD
3) If not specified in TXT2PDFD (or TXT2PDFD not installed), use built in default

Once you‟ve made the desired modifications, place the EXEC where your particular interpreter will
find it. For Linux and Windows, this is usually somewhere in your PATH. On OS/390 and z/OS,
place the EXEC somewhere in your SYSEXEC or SYSPROC DD concatenation. On VM place the
exec on the same mini-disk as the TXT2PDF.

National Language Translation: All Platforms

There are two methods of handling translation of input data to character sets that will display properly
when viewing the PDF.

Translation tables as defined in the TXT2PDFX EXEC or via the XLATE parameter are used to
convert each input byte from whatever code page it was created with to the WinAnsiEncoding that
PDF uses.

The TXT2PDFX EXEC or EXEC specified via the XLATE parameter contains two translation tables
that are used to convert the text of the input file and the EXECs internal data to other code pages. This
was originally intended to convert EBCDIC data to ASCII, but has been externalized to allow you to
convert from any character set to another in case you need to distribute the output file to other
nationalities.

This EXEC is optional as there are default tables built into the main EXEC. Therefore, if you do not
require specific translations, skip these instructions and continue with the appropriate platform
instructions below.

If you want to use this EXEC you‟ll need to carefully modify the tables contained within. Each table is
256 values in length and each 2 character hexadecimal value represents a character in the target code
page. Each byte in the input file will be used as an offset into this table to get the value of the output
byte. For instance, if you look at the default table, you‟ll notice that at hex offset 40 a value of 20 is
given. This will convert the “space” character from EBCDIC to ASCII.

Once you‟ve made the desired modifications, place the EXEC where your particular interpreter will
find it. For Linux and Windows, this is usually somewhere in your PATH. On OS/390 and z/OS,

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 46 of 54 4/18/2009

 place the EXEC somewhere in your SYSEXEC or SYSPROC DD concatenation. On VM place the
exec on the same mini-disk as the TXT2PDF.

An alternative approach is to use Unicode Character Map (UCM) files via the ENCODING parameter
to define a mapping between each byte of the input data to their Unicode equivalent. An internal
representation of this mapping is embedded within the PDF, so the input bytes aren‟t actually
converted to Unicode and the viewing application will use the mapping to display the input bytes using
the mapped Unicode character. This method also provides proper cut and paste and text searching.

http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/data/trunk/charset/data/ucm/

Linux and Cygwin

Nothing special needs to be done if you‟ll be specifically invoking your interpreter to execute
TXT2PDF. However, if you wish to invoke TXT2PDF by simply typing its name, then you must do
the following:

1) Determine the location of the REXX interpreter.

2) Insert the following line at the top of TXT2PDF, replacing <path> with the location of the
interpreter from step 1 above:

#!<full path to interpreter> Example: #!/usr/local/bin/rexx

3) Copy TXT2PDF to a directory in your PATH.

4) Ensure that the TXT2PDF has proper execution permissions.

Windows
Nothing special needs to be done if you‟ll be specifically invoking your interpreter to execute
TXT2PDF. However, if you wish to invoke TXT2PDF by simply typing its name, then you must do
the following:

1) Determine what extension has been defined to implicitly invoke the interpreter. For Regina,
this is usually REX.
2) Rename TXT2PDF to TXT2PDF.<extension> replacing <extension> with the value you
determined in step 1 above.
3) Copy the renamed EXEC to a directory in your PATH.

OS/390 and z/OS

In addition to the TXT2PDF command line utility, this platform also includes Lionel‟s ISPF dialog.
The dialog makes it a LOT easier to create the necessary parameters and/or batch job to invoke the
command line utility since there are so many values to remember.

There are many choices when installing on this platform. If you are unfamiliar with the ISPF, REXX,
and LOADLIB standards in your shop, please consult your systems support personnel for assistance.

The TXT2PDF.EXEC, TXT2PDF.PANELS, and TXT2PDF.LOAD data sets will need to be made
available to your TSO logon PROC or the contents copied to the appropriate system data sets.

You may use TSO‟s ALTLIB command for the EXEC data set and ISPF‟s LIBDEF service for the
PANEL and LOAD data sets, or the LOAD data set may be allocated to STEPLIB or JOBLIB DD
statements. Another alternative would be to add the LOAD modules to a library in your LINKLIST or
LPA.

TXT2PDF User Reference Guide Page 47 of 54 4/18/2009

 VM and z/VM
The REXX EXECs need to be installed on a shared mini-disk that is available to your users.
