Multi-Chunk Method

In this method, Control-D creates a new chunk each time the number of lines specified in the CHUNKSIZE parameter is exceeded, or when printing characteristics for the reports change, whichever occurs first (unless CHUNKSIZE is specified as "0" as described previously). CHUNKSIZE may be specified in the printing mission definition. If it is not specified in the printing mission definition, CHUNKSIZE defaults to the value specified during the installation process.

Multi-chunk processing has two major advantages:

• Preventing overloading of the spool by controlling the size of the chunk.
• Printing of reports with different printing characteristics within one bundle.

The multi-chunk method in Control-D is a unique design and enables reports containing any printing characteristics to be bundled in one bundle. Therefore, this method is the recommended method for AFP report printing.
