Using Resource Files

Enrichment can extract resources from a print stream and create separate resource files for each resource, or a single file for all resources in a given input. These resource files can then be read in to other input print streams, allowing you to apply resources consistently across multiple inputs. For example, Enrichment can create a font resource file for each font it finds. These font files can then be used by other input print streams to ensure the consistent use of fonts.

To create and use resource files, use the following tags:

<RESOURCEOUTFILE>	This tag enables the creation of resource files. Use it to specify the file, directory, or PDS (on mainframe systems) where you want Enrichment to create the resource files.
<RESOURCEEXTENSION>	On Windows, Linux, and Unix, this tag specifies the file extension to use for each type of resource file (font resources, overlays, images, etc.). This tag is not used on mainframe systems.
<RESOURCEINFILE>	This tag specifies a resource to read into a print stream. If this tag is present, <RESOURCESCAN> is set automatically set to YES.

For complete information on these tags, see the Enrichment Language Reference Guide.
