Specifying print format parameters
4-44 Using LCDS Print Description Language
OUTPUT BFORM
Prints a form on the back side of a duplex data sheet. In
association with the duplex printing mode DUPLEX=YES, a page
containing only a form (no variable data can be printed with this
page) may be printed on the back side of a data sheet. This
feature can be used to print static data on the back of each sheet
in a report without the use of DJDEs or the repetitive processing
of that static data for the back sides of successive sheets.
