UCS

Specifies the member name of the FOCA coded font that you want to use to print a data set. When a CHARS parameter is not specified in the output JCL, you can specify the universal character set (UCS) parameter to identify one font.

You can specify the UCS parameter in a DD statement or in an OUTPUT statement, as follows:

UCS=fontname

The value is:

fontname

Specifies the one to four alphanumeric character name of a FOCA coded font (in a font library). When you use UCS to specify the member name, do not include the 2-character prefix of the coded-font name (X0 through XG).

//DD1 DD SYSOUT=A,UCS=60DB

When you specify the UCS parameter, remember:

• If you specify the parameter in both a DD statement and an OUTPUT statement, PSF uses the parameter in the DD statement.
• If you specify a page definition on the OUTPUT statement that specifies fonts for your data set, the UCS parameter is ignored. For more information, see Fonts.
• The UCS parameter is never used in deferred-printing mode under JES3.
