Connect:Direct for HP NonStop Copy Statement for Spooler Jobs

Connect:Direct® for HP NonStop supports the use of ISO/ANSI printer control characters between files on an IBM® z/OS node and the HP NonStop spooler system. These characters provide carriage control instructions to the printer. A description of these characters follows:

` ' skips one line before printing a record (single-spacing).

`0' skips two lines before printing a record (double-spacing).

`-' skips three lines before printing a record (triple-spacing).

`+' suppresses spacing before printing a line (used for overstriking).

`1' begins a new page.

When transferring jobs defined as including ANSI carriage control between an IBM z/OS node and the HP NonStop spooler system, the IBM Connect:Direct system converts HP NonStop carriage control to ANSI or ANSI to HP NonStop carriage control as appropriate. A RECFM that includes the A characteristic must be specified on the clause of the COPY statement pertaining to the IBM z/OS node.

The following is the Connect:Direct for HP NonStop Copy statement for Spooler Jobs. See the Sterling Connect:Direct for HP NonStop Process Parameters for more information.
