Server printer parameters

Specify the server printer parameters. These parameters are passed to JES when printing on Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS.

Class
Specifies the output class to use for processing the specified SYSOUT data set. Valid output classes are characters A-Z or 0-9.
Formdef
Specifies the member name of a partitioned data set containing information that the Advanced Function Printer uses to print a data set. The member can contain the following information:
  • The overlays that are to be invoked during output processing
  • The location on the page where the overlays are to be placed
  • The suppressions that can be activated for specified page formats.
The member name contains a maximum of 6 bytes, of which the first two are predefined by your installation. For the last 4 bytes, specify alphabetic or numeric characters, or the characters @, #, or $.
Dest
Specifies a remote workstation to which the output is routed for processing. Specify from 1 to 8 characters. If both Dest and Node are specified, Dest is used.
Pagedef
Specifies the member of a partitioned data set containing information that the Advanced Function Printer uses to print the data set. The member can contain the following information:
  • Logical page size and width
  • Fonts
  • Page segments
  • Multiple page types or formats
  • Lines within a page; for example, line origin, carriage controls, and spacing
  • Multiple logical pages on a physical page.
The member name contains a maximum of six characters, of which the first two are predefined by your installation. For the last four characters, specify alphabetic or numeric characters, or the characters @, #, or $.
Node
Specifies a remote workstation to which the output is routed for processing. Specify from 1 to 8 characters. If both Dest and Node are specified, Dest is used.
Forms
Specifies the name of the form on which the output is to be printed. Specify 1 to 8 characters (alphabetic, numeric or @, #, or $) for the forms name.
Writer
Specifies the member name of an installation-written program in the system library that writes to the SYSOUT data set, instead of JES2 or JES3. If you specify the external writer name, the output data set is written under the control of that external writer rather than the control of JES2 or JES3. The writer name can contain 1 to 8 characters (alphabetic, numeric or @, #, or $).
