Overview of the PRINT command

The PRINT command prints output data or the screen image. It can be issued from the SDSF panel, but prints data only on the Log, ULOG, and Output Data Set panels. To print tabular panels, use the SNAP command.

Printing data

To print data, follow these general steps:
  1. Open a print data set to specify the target of the output, either SYSOUT, a DASD data set, or a preallocated ddname. This step is optional except when printing the screen. The default target is SYSOUT.
  2. Print the output data, log data, or screens to the print data set.
  3. Close the print data set. This step frees the SYSOUT data set and makes it available for printing (if printing to SYSOUT), or closes the data set or print file.

Example

PT ODSN SDSF.PRINT * MOD         
PT 06.00.00 04/15/2023 10.00.00 04/15/2023 
PT CLOSE

Prints part of the SYSLOG to a pre-allocated data set, then closes the data set.
