- Local printer ID
- Enter the name that your installation has assigned to an IBM® 328x type of printer or the
name of the external writer program. The default is blank. If you
enter a name in this field, be sure to leave the Batch SYSOUT class
field empty.
- Lines per page
- ISPF uses this value to determine when to cause a page eject if
the eject control is not provided by the dialog; for example, when
the dialog issues a LIST service request without the CC keyword specified.
Lines per page can range from 1 to 999. The initial default is
60. Normal values for lines per page are:
- 60
- When printing 6 lines per inch
- 80
- When printing 8 lines per inch.
- Primary/Secondary pages
- Primary/secondary allocation parameters are specified in terms
of the anticipated number of pages of printout. These values are automatically
converted by ISPF to the appropriate number of blocks before allocating
space for the list data set. The initial default settings are 100
for Primary pages and 200 for Secondary pages.
If you modify the
primary/secondary allocation parameters after the data set has been
allocated, the new values take effect the next time you enter ISPF.
The list data set is allocated the first time you request a print
function or a dialog issues a LIST service request.
If you request default processing options for the list data set,
these rules apply:
- If you specify Print data set and delete (1), you must also specify
a Batch SYSOUT class and job statement information. If you specify
Print data set and delete for both log and list, you can specify different
Batch SYSOUT classes, but only one job is submitted for printing both
data sets.
- If you specify routing to a local printer, you must specify a
Local printer ID or writer name, and Batch SYSOUT must be blank.
If you do not follow these rules or do not specify default processing
options, primary option X or the RETURN command causes the final termination
panel to be displayed.
After reviewing or changing the parameters on this panel, enter
the END command to return to the previous menu.
