PageBatchStage1InitTerm
Use this job level rule to create and populate a list of records which contain page ranges and total page counts for each recipient batch file.
This rule is typically used for handling 2-up printing for AFP and compatible printers. This rule is also used with multi-mail processing.
This rule creates a list (populated in another rule) to contain the recipient batch records for a multi-mail transaction set. The rule then writes out the recipient records for the final multi-mail transaction set and writes out the total page counts for each recipient batch.
- Fields must be added to the RCBDFDFL.DFD file for the file containing the total page counts for the recipient batches. Do not remove or change the BatchName and RecordCount fields.
- The name of the file containing page counts should be specified in the CounterTbl option of the TwoUp control group.
- Because the end of a multi-mail set is not signaled until the following transaction, you must write out the recipient records for the final transaction set at the job level.

MMField |
(Optional) Name of the INI option in the Trn_Fields control group which defines where the multi-mail code will be found in each transaction. |

Example
If you omit the MMField parameter, the system uses standard batching by page count, as shown below:
;PageBatchStage1InitTerm;;;
If you include the MMField parameter, the system uses batching by multi-mail processing, as shown below:
;PageBatchStage1InitTerm;;MMField=MM_Field
