Examples -- Using JCL to transform AFP documents

These examples show the JCL you can use to transform AFP documents to:

• PCL format and print the PCL documents
• PDF format and sendl the PDF documents in an email

Transform an AFP document to PCL format and print it

This example shows how to transform an AFP document to PCL format and print the transformed output on a PCL printer. It assumes that:

• Printer definition pcl1 exists in the Infoprint Server Printer Inventory with these characteristics:
  • The IP PrintWay™ LPR, direct-sockets, or IPP protocol is selected.
  • The AFP to PCL transform is specified.
• IP PrintWay prints output data sets in JES output class P.

//PCLJOB   JOB ...
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=USERA
//OUTDS1   OUTPUT CLASS=P,FSSDATA='printer=pcl1',
//          FORMDEF=MYDEF,USERLIB=USERX.MYLIB
//DD1      DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=*.OUTDS1,DSNAME=&&MYFILE

Transform an AFP document to PDF format and send it in an email

This example shows how to transform an AFP document to PDF format and send it to an email address. This example shows how to specify JCL parameters for sending the document in an email (MAILTO, MAILFROM, REPLYTO, and MAILFILE). For information about these JCL parameters, see z/OS Infoprint Server User’s Guide.

This example assumes that:

• Printer definition mail exists in the Infoprint Server Printer Inventory with these characteristics:
  • The email protocol is selected.
  • The AFP to PDF transform is specified.
  • (Optional) A PDF user identifier, owner identifier, and protected actions are specified. If a user or owner identifier is specified, the AFP to PDF transform encrypts the PDF document and restricts any protected actions.
• IP PrintWay prints output data sets in JES output class P.

//MAILJOB  JOB ...
//STEP1    EXEC   PGM=USERA
//OUTDS1   OUTPUT CLASS=P,FSSDATA='printer=mail',
//          FORMDEF=MYDEF,MAILTO='user@xyz.com',
//          MAILFROM='John Sender',REPLYTO='secretary@xyz.com',
//          MAILFILE='July report',TITLE='Monthly Report'
//DD1      DD     SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=*.OUTDS1

Transform an AFP document to PDF format, specifying encryption job attributes

This example shows how to transform an AFP document to PDF format and mail it to an email address using the Print Interface subsystem. The Print Interface subsystem lets you specify job attributes that you cannot specify in JCL parameters, such as the job attributes used to encrypt PDF documents.

This example shows how to specify:

• The SUBSYS JCL parameter, with job attributes used to encrypt the PDF document (pdf-owner-identifier, pdf-user-identifier, pdf-protect)
• JCL parameters used to send the PDF document in an email (MAILTO, MAILFROM, REPLYTO, MAILFILE, TITLE)

For information about these JCL parameters, see z/OS Infoprint Server User’s Guide.

This example assumes that:

• Printer definition mail exists in the Infoprint Server Printer Inventory with these characteristics:
  • The email protocol is selected.
  • The AFP to PDF transform is specified.
• The name of the Print Interface subsystem is AOP1.

//SUBSJOB  JOB ...

//         MAILFROM='John Sender',REPLYTO='secretary@xyz.com',
//         MAILFILE='July report',TITLE='Monthly Report'
//SYSUT2   DD SUBSYS=(AOP1,'mail','pdf-owner-identifier=john pdf-user-i
