Printer/punch device data
If a data retrieval request to the JES Device Information services results in the data being returned for printer or punch devices, the interface returns one printer/punch data area for each printer or punch device.
For local printers and punches, this data area is chained to the SSJDLCL8 output field in the parameter list.
For remote printers and punches, this data area is chained to the JDWHDEV8 field in the data area (Remote Workstation data header (JDWHRMTW)) for the remote workstation that owns this printer or punch.
The printer/punch data area consists of the
following data structures:
- Header (Printer/punch data header (JDPHPRPU))
- Common prefix section (Common prefix section (JDCXPREF)): this section accounts for the total length of all other sections (header is not included). The prefix section also identifies the type of data returned in this header. For printer/punch devices, data (section) type is JDTYPRPU.
- Printer/punch common section (Printer/punch common section (JDPCPRPU))
- Printer/punch work selection section (Printer/punch work selection section (JDPWRKSL))
- Optional non-impact printer section (Non-impact printer section (JDPFPRT))
- Optional printer/punch JES2 section (Printer/punch JES2 section (JDP2PRPU))
- Optional printer/punch JES3 section (Printer/punch JES3 section (JDP3PRPU))
- Optional remote printer section (Remote printer section (JDPRPRT))
- Optional job information section (Common sections)
- Optional output information section (Current output information section (JDUTINFO))
- Optional output information JES2 section (Current output information JES2 section (JDU2INFO))
- Optional output information JES3 section (Current output information JES3 section (JDU3INFO))
