Parameter Description for OUTCLASS(v)
- BLNKTRNC=Yes|No
- Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) JES2 truncates trailing blanks for
non-page-mode data sets in this output class. Specifying BLNKTRNC=Yes for
all non-page-mode data sets provides a significant saving in spool volume
space. Non-page-mode data sets include line-mode data printed on PSF printers.
If you specify this parameter for composed-text page data sets (for example,
output created by the Document Composition Facility), it has no effect. Note
that the PRMODE= parameter, on both the JCL and JES2 output device initialization
statements, does not affect blank truncation.
Specify BLNKTRNC=No for:
- Data sets that require right-hand blank padding to print properly.
- Data sets containing double-byte font characters.
- Output JES2 writes to JES2 spool. (JES2 will still truncate trailing blanks in RJE data transmissions.)
Performance Considerations: Specify BLNKTRNC=Yes (or permit this parameter to default) for all non-page-mode data sets to provide a significant saving in spool volume space.
Modification: Single-member warm start.
COMPRESS={No|Yes}
- Specifies whether (Yes) or (No) JES2 writes compressed data to data sets in this output
class.
Performance Considerations: Specify COMPRESS=Yes for data sets to provide a significant saving in spool volume space.
Modification: Single-member warm start.
- OUTDisp=([normal][,abnormal])|(WRITE,WRITE)
- Specifies the default output disposition for the SYSOUT data sets in this class, depending on
the successful completion of the job.
- normal
- Specifies the output disposition if the job does not abend.
- abnormal
- Specifies the output disposition if the job abends.
Valid output dispositions are:- HOLD
- Hold the output. JES2 does not process the output until you either change the disposition to
WRITE or KEEP, or release the output. When the output is released, the disposition changes to WRITE.
Note: This specification is honored when the output reaches the destination node.
- KEEP
- Process the output then keep a copy of it on spool. After processing, the disposition of this output becomes LEAVE.
- LEAVE
- JES2 does not process the output until you change the disposition to WRITE or KEEP, or release the output. When the output is released, the disposition changes to KEEP.
- PURGE
- Purge the output immediately.
- WRITE
- Process the output then purge it.
Modification: Operator command. If you modify this parameter value and then restart JES2 with a hot start, the parameter value in effect before termination will be used.
- OUTPUT=PUNCH|PRINT|DUMMY
- Any class may be specified for either print or punch. This parameter
defines the installation's standard for output classes so that appropriate
print and punch accounting can be maintained. PUNCH specifies that this output
class normally is to be punched. DUMMY specifies that JES2 is to process this
output class as a dummy data set (the class will still be allocated spool
space but will be marked nonprintable to JES2).
If you do not specify this parameter, JES2 specifies that this output class normally is printed. For classes B and K, however, JES2 specifies that this output class normally is punched.
Modification: Single-member warm start.
Note: Users of the TSO/E Interactive Data Transmission Facility should not use the parameter default of PRINT, rather these users should set the parameter to PUNCH in order that incoming files are correctly recognized. - TRKCELL=Yes|No
- TRKCELL=Yes specifies that physical records of each data set of this
SYSOUT class are to be specially grouped on the spool volume(s), and are to
be read from the spool volume in blocks. (See the TRKCELL= parameter on the
SPOOLDEF statement for additional information.)
Performance Considerations: Specify track celling (TRKCELL=Yes) for all SYSOUT classes processed by 3800 printers to increase device performance.
Modification: Single-member warm start.
