Linking a distribution list to printer attributes

Optionally, you can link a distribution list to a set of printer attributes. This set of printer attributes will provide values only for the "dynamic printing parameters" that are stored in the BJTDAT table. (The BJTDAT table will also contain any "dynamic printing parameters" that were captured from the SYSOUT.)

For this set of printer attributes to be used, the Dynamic Print field must be set to Report in a report definition that is linked to the distribution list.

To link a distribution list to a set of printer attributes:

  1. From the Output Manager main menu, choose A, Administrative Functions.
  2. From the Administrative Functions menu, choose option D, Distribution Lists. The Distribution Lists panel is displayed.
  3. In the CMD column, type S (Select) next to the distribution list to which you want to link a set of printer attributes. The Distribution List panel is displayed.
  4. From the Link pull-down menu, choose option 1, Choose a printer attribute, and press Enter.
    The Printer Attribute Selection pop-up window is displayed:
  5. In the CMD column, type S (Select) next to the set of printer attributes that you want to use, and press Enter.

    The Distribution List panel is redisplayed. The Print Attr field displays the name of the set of printer attributes that you selected.
