When PRNTMOD is set to REPORT, and DYNPRNT is set to YES/REPORT

When Print model is set to REPORT, and DYNPRNT is set to Yes (in archive attributes) or Report (in report definitions), all non-dynamic print parameters (including CC, CHARS, PRTY, BURST, FLASH, MODIFY, and COPYG) are retrieved from the report printer.

Note: If Print model is set to REPORT and dynamic print is set to Yes (in archive attributes) or Report (in report definitions), print parameters can be overridden at print time from the Print Override panel (in ISPF) or the Print Settings screen (in ITOMweb). For more information, see the "IBM Tivoli Output Manager User's Guide".
The values for the dynamic print attributes PAGEDEF, FORMDEF, TRC, FORM, UCS, FCB, OPTCD, and PRMODE (not CLASS, COPIES, and DEST) are retrieved from the BJTDAT table only. The values in the BJTDAT table include RDAT and ADAT values, which are combined in a hierarchy to create a final set of dynamic printer attributes. The value used for each of these dynamic print attributes is determined by the following hierarchy:
  1. RDAT
  2. ADAT
This hierarchy implies that any value not present in RDAT is retrieved from ADAT. In other words, report-level dynamic print attributes (RDAT) take precedence over archive-level print attributes (ADAT). If a print attribute value is absent for a report, the report inherits the value for that attribute from the archive attribute associated with that report. Any values missing in RDAT will be filled in with the values from ADAT, resulting in the final set of merged dynamic printer attributes. If the attribute does not have a value in RDAT or ADAT, it is left blank.
Note: The source for the RDAT values stored in the BJTDAT table depend on how you have set the SET RDATDSTH start up command. For more information on which values are used for RDAT and ADAT, see Capture of dynamic printing parameters.
The final set of merged dynamic printer attributes for the CLASS and DEST parameters are merged from a different hierarchy than the other dynamic printer attributes. The sources of the CLASS and DEST values come from the following hierarchy:
  1. the distribution list printer
  2. recipient IDs
  3. RDAT
  4. ADAT
Output Manager first looks for the values of the CLASS and DEST parameters in the printer associated with the distribution list linked to the report or archive. If this printer does not have values for these parameters, Output Manager looks in the Recipient Details panel of the recipient IDs on the distribution list that is selected for a report or a reprint request and any sets of printer attributes to which these recipient IDs are linked. Any values found in the CLASS and DEST fields are merged and used. However, if neither the distribution list printer nor the recipient IDs contain values for all three of these parameters, Output Manager continues to look for the undefined values from the BJTDAT table, looking first for RDAT values, and then filling in blanks with ADAT values. Note that the print attribute values associated with the report printer are not used.
Note: The CLASS and DEST fields are always blank by default on the Print Override panel.
The final value for the print attribute COPIES (when Print model is set to REPORT, and DYNPRNT is set to Yes or REPORT) is merged from a different hierarchy than the other print attributes. The value for the COPIES parameter is determined by the following hierarchy:
  1. distribution list printer
  2. recipient IDs
  3. report printer
Output Manager first looks for the value of the COPIES parameter in the printer associated with the distribution list linked to the report or archive. If the associated printer does not have a value for this parameter, Output Manager looks in the Recipient Details of the recipient IDs on the distribution list. If the recipient IDs do not have a value for this parameter, Output Manager looks in the associated report printer. The first location in the hierarchy to have a COPIES value is used.
Note: The COPIES field is always set to zero by default on the Print Override panel.
All other print attributes are retrieved from the following location hierarchy
  1. recipient IDs
  2. report printer
Output Manager first looks for the values in the Recipient Details panel of the recipient IDs on the distribution list associated with a report or archive. Any values not found on the Recipient Details panel are then retrieved from the printer associated with the report.
