USERPATH

Specifies the name, up to 255 characters, of one to eight UNIX file resource path libraries that contain extended code pages or any resource installed with a resource access table (RAT), such as TrueType and OpenType fonts and data object resources.

Extended coded pages can be installed in path libraries or PDS or PDSE libraries (see Using extended code pages). RAT-installed resources must be installed in the path libraries that are specified with the USERPATH parameter (see Using TrueType and OpenType fonts for information about installing fonts or Specifying object container libraries in UNIX files for information about installing data objects).

PSF uses z/OS® UNIX System Services to access the resources in the user path libraries in the order specified on the USERPATH parameter. If PSF does not find any resources in the user path libraries, it searches the system path libraries; for example, those defined on the FONTPATH parameter or the OBJCPATH parameter in the PSF startup procedure.

You can specify the USERPATH parameter in an OUTPUT statement, as follows:

USERPATH=('libpath1','libpath2',...'libpath8')

The value is:

libpath

Specifies the name of UNIX file resource path libraries, such as USERPATH=('/jdoe/fonts/truetype','/jdoe/fonts/truetype/myfonts/').

See Printing with resources from a user library for examples of using the USERPATH parameter and for other guidelines.
