Specifying JCL parameters for microfilm jobs

When you send output to a microfilm device, you can identify the microfilm setup resource to distinguish the special microfilm options. If you do not, the system will use the default COMSETUP parameter that your system programmer specified in the Printer Inventory or the PRINTDEV statement. The full name of the microfilm setup resource is coded in the COMSETUP parameter of the OUTPUT statement (see COMSETUP).

Examples:

This is an example of JCL in which the COMSETUP parameter is specified in the OUTPUT statement for data sent to a microfilm device:
```
//OUTPUT1 OUTPUT DEST=REMOTE1,FORMDEF=mifdef,PAGEDEF=mipdef,
//        COMSETUP=H1MICRO
//DD1   DD  SYSOUT=q,OUTPUT=(*.OUTPUT1)
```

This is an example of JCL in which two OUTPUT statements are specified for data sent to a microfilm device and to a printer:

//OUTPUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=m,FORMDEF=fdef1,PAGEDEF=A06462,
//        COMSETUP=H1MICRO
//OUTPUT2 OUTPUT CLASS=A,FORMDEF=fdef1,PAGEDEF=A06462,
//DD1   DD  SYSOUT=q,OUTPUT=(*.OUTPUT1,*.OUTPUT2)

This is an example of JCL in which two different FORMDEF parameters are specified for data sent to a microfilm device and to a printer. This example specifies three printed copies and one microfilm copy:

//OUTPUT1 OUTPUT CLASS=m,FORMDEF=fdef1,PAGEDEF=A06462,
//        COMSETUP=H1MICRO
//OUTPUT2 OUTPUT CLASS=A,FORMDEF=A10111,PAGEDEF=A06462,
//        COPIES=3
//DD1   DD  SYSOUT=q,OUTPUT=(*.OUTPUT1,*.OUTPUT2)

Check with your system programmer to find out which CLASS or DEST to use for sending AFP output to the microfilm device.

The microfilm setup resource must be in a PSF system library, in a PSF user library, or inline as part of the print data set. You can create your own microfilm setup resource (see the publications provided with your microfilm device) or use a resource already available on your system.
