Specifying the DD statement
Figure 1 shows the format of the DD statement you use for saving printer information to a data set. The DD name for the PRTINFO data set must always be PRTINFO. The data set name can be anything you want; however, IBM® suggests that you use the name of the startup procedure and the PRTINFO qualifier to accurately identify the information that the data set contains. You should also use DISP=SHR to let multiple PSF FSAs simultaneously write printer information to the data set.
