Specifying nicknames for PostScript output

GDDM V3R2 System Customization and Administration
SC33-0871-02



This section describes how to code name_lists for PostScript output and gives some examples for the CMS and TSO subsystems. For more details, see Appendix D, "Name-lists" in topic D.0.

Suppose an application opens a device using the following call:


             /* ID  DEV_FAMILY  DEV_TOKEN  PROCESSING OPTIONS  DEV_NAME */
     CALL DSOPEN(5,      4,        '*',    0,PROCOPT_LIST,   1,QUALPRT   );

This call generates output for a printer with the name QUALPRT. End users at your enterprise, who want to print the output from their applications on a PostScript printer, can specify QUALPRT in nickname statements in their user default files.

Note: It is important to have the application code page set to a CECP when generating PostScript output with GDDM. The code points of EBCDIC country-extended code pages can be mapped onto code page 37, which GDDM uses for PostScript printing. If you use an EBCDIC code page that is not a CECP, the code points are not translated.
