LPDXMANY Configuration file

The LPDXMANY exit routine can read a configuration file. This configuration file can supply the following:
  • Overrides for processing when a file is received from a remote LPR command, based on the printer queue name
  • Translate table to override the one used by the exit

The configuration file can have any desired file name and file type and must be on a disk accessed by the RSCS user ID. This file must be defined with a FILEDEF statement in the PROFILE GCS. The DDNAME used must be specified on the Config= parameter in the EPARM value on the PARM statement for the link in the RSCS CONFIG file or in the link operational parameters on the RSCS DEFINE or START command.

The following is an example of a DDNAME entry in PROFILE GCS in which LPDX is the defined DDNAME and LPD CONFIG is the name of the LPDXMANY configuration file: 
'FILEDEF LPDX DISK LPD CONFIG *'
The following is an example of the PARM statement for an LPD-type link named LPD using the DDNAME defined on the FILEDEF statement in PROFILE GCS: 
PARM LPD EXIT=LPDXMANY PORT=994 EPARM='C=LPDX'
