Follow these steps to use the TSO/E Information Center Facility to submit your print jobs:

  1. Choose one of the options listed at the top of the panel and type its code, PK or PD, in the Option field.
  2. Enter a fully qualified data set name and member name.

    You must specify at least the low-level qualifier, such as LIST. If you enter your user prefix as part of the data set name, you must enclose the complete data set name in quotes. However, if you omit the user prefix and quotes, your user prefix is automatically added to the beginning of the data set name.

  3. If the data set is not cataloged, enter the volume serial.
  4. If your data set is password-protected, enter the password in the Data Set Password field. For more information about data set passwords, see the "ISPF Libraries and Data Sets" topic of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.
  5. You can either leave the Printer location field blank or enter the location ID of the printer to be used. The location ID is assigned by your installation.

    You can also enter a partial location name followed by an asterisk (*).

  6. You can either leave the "Printer format" field blank or enter the format ID of the printer to be used. The format ID is assigned by your installation.

    You can also enter a partial format name followed by an asterisk (*). If your printer location and format entries do not identify a specific printer, a printer selection list is displayed. From this list, which is similar to a member selection list, you can select a printer.

  7. Specify the number of copies you want.
  8. Press Enter.

    The values entered in the fields on this panel are passed directly to the TSO/E Information Center Facility for processing.
