Starting with Enterprise Developer version 3.0, job numbers in excess of 99999 are supported.
Printer exit job numbers are handled by the spool.cpy copybook, stored in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\cpylib (Windows) or /opt/microfocus/EnterpriseDeveloper/cpylib (UNIX) directory by default.
Job numbers up to 99999 are placed in the ()-job-number field.
Job numbers in excess of this value use the ()-job-number-compx field.
To detect which field to use when reporting the job number, test if the value of ()-job-number is numeric or not. If it is numeric, move the contents of ()-job-number to ()-job-nbr-disp. If it is not numeric, move the contents of ()-job-number-compx to ()-job-nbr-disp.
An example of this is included in the print-processor section of the sampprnx.cbl sample printer exit as follows:
*5 or 7 digit job number?
if lk-job-number is numeric
move lk-job-number to ws-job-nbr-disp
else
move lk-job-number-compx to ws-job-nbr-disp
end-if
move 1 to ws-srv-cmsg-size
string
" EXIT - Printer Printing for job number: "
delimited by size
ws-job-nbr-disp delimited by size
into txt-buffer with pointer ws-srv-cmsg-size
