PLTPAPSZ (plotter paper size)

GDDM V3R2 System Customization and Administration
SC33-0871-02

Nickname syntax: (PLTPAPSZ,{*|A4|A3|...|A|B|...})

Specifies the size of the paper that is loaded in a plotter. Plotters that have paper-size switches must have them set correctly to indicate the size of the paper loaded; otherwise, the aspect ratio might be distorted, the picture might not be placed centrally, or only part of the picture might be drawn.

If this option is not specified, GDDM uses whatever paper size is already loaded in the plotter.

When IBM-GL files are being created, the PLTPAPSZ procopt should be used to specify the paper size loaded on the eventual output device.

Note: This processing option does not apply to plotting via GDDM-OS/2 Link. If it is specified on the GDDM host session, it is ignored.

Subsystems:

CICS, TSO, VM

Devices:

All family-1 plotters

Possible values are:

*, meaning the default (whatever paper size is loaded)
A or A4 size
B or A3 size
C or A2 size
D or A1 size
E or A0 size

When plotting on roll-feed plotters, use these paper-size codes:

For 36-in wide paper, specify E, or A0, or smaller
For 24-in wide paper, specify A1, or D, or smaller
For 11-in wide paper, specify A3 or B

This value is specified in ISO dimensions (A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5) or ANSI dimensions (A, B, C, D, E).
