How to split a Job (VDE\OE) in PI Output Manager

To split a job a multipass script is needed

Steps:
1)  On the 1st pass the job should be indexed based on the number of pages on the mailpiece:
 Example 6, 10, and 24

[INDEX_SORT] INDEX "Split"  [OBJECT_MAIN_BOUNDARY_PASS1]
FROM [VARIABLE_INDEX_SORT]                  //Variable containing the number of  pages of each mailpiece          
ASCENDING
;

The index on the 1st pass would be :
 
6
6
6
6
10
10
10
10
24
24
24
 
2) On the 2nd pass the script will need to extract the index from the 1st pass into a variable then use the action SPLIT command to split the job,
before calling the action SPLIT there should be a TEST that test every time that the index change; It is changing from 6 to 10 and from 10 to 24; then It will end up with three splits: a job with all the mailpiece containing 6 pages, 10 pages and 24 pages.
 
 
 

 //This is an example of code
[OBJECT_PASS2_INITIALIZATION] OBJECT
CONDITION
       ACTION  
          [EXTRACT_INDEX_FROM_PASS1]  AND  
         [EXTRACT_PREVIOUS_SPLIT_TYPE]  AND   
          [LOGIC_GOTO_PASS2_PROCESS]
;
 
 
[EXTRACT_INDEX_FROM_PASS1] EXTRACT [VARIABLE_INDEX_FROM_PASS1] EQ INDEX FROM "Split";
 
[LOGIC_GOTO_PASS2_PROCESS] LOGIC GOTO [OBJECT_PASS2_PROCESS];              
 
[OBJECT_PASS2_PROCESS] OBJECT BOUNDARY SCAN0
BEGINWINDOWX 0 BEGINWINDOWY 0
ENDWINDOWX 0 ENDWINDOWY 0 
                TEST
              [TEST_BOUNDARY]                                   //Condition to define the boundary
ACTION
                [OBJECT_SPLIT_JOB]
;      
 
[OBJECT_SPLIT_JOB] OBJECT
     CONDITION
        TEST
            NEWPARENT AND [TEST_SPLIT_TYPE_CHANGED]      //if Split  Type Change                                                                                                                
        ACTION                         
             [EXTRACT_PREVIOUS_SPLIT_TYPE]      //Assigns Current Split Type to previous Split                                                                             
            AND [SPLIT]                                                 //Split Job (Group together Mailpiece based on number of pages)
                                                                                                                      
;

[TEST_SPLIT_TYPE_CHANGED] TEST [VARIABLE_INDEX_FROM_PASS1] NE [VARIABLE_PREVIOUS_SPLIT_NEW_TYPE];
 
[EXTRACT_PREVIOUS_SPLIT_TYPE] EXTRACT [VARIABLE_PREVIOUS_SPLIT_NEW_TYPE] EQ [VARIABLE_INDEX_FROM_PASS1:];
 
[SPLIT] SPLIT;

Subject: AFPOUT - Page size and VDE - logically splitting document

Initial Details: I have a questions about AFPOUT on PIOE - 1)How can I control the page size coming out - I have a job that is supposed to be 17 1/2 x 11 and it is coming out 8/12 x 11 On another matter 2)How would I go about splitting a 17 1/2 x 11 document in VDE so that I can change pagination?
