Procedure for specifying attributes

To enable printer selection with the DEST, CLASS, or FORMS JCL parameters, specify these attributes in the printer definition:

1. On the first ISPF panel for the printer definition, specify this field:
   • Use DEST, CLASS, and FORMS for IP PrintWay™ printer selection: Select this field.

   _______________________________________________________

2. On the Allocation panel, specify these fields:
   • CLASS: Specify a class. Leave this field blank if you do not want IP PrintWay to match the value in the CLASS JCL parameter.
   • DEST: Specify a destination. Leave this field blank if you want do not want IP PrintWay to match the value in the DEST JCL parameter.
   • FORMS: Specify a forms name. Leave this field blank if you do not want IP PrintWay to match the value in the FORMS JCL parameter.

   The values in the DEST, CLASS, and FORMS fields, together, must be unique in each printer definition in which the Use DEST, CLASS, and FORMS for IP PrintWay printer selection option is selected. For example, if you specify DEST PRT5 and CLASS P in one printer definition, you cannot specify DEST PRT5 and CLASS P in another printer definition.

Example

This ISPF panel shows how to request that IP PrintWay use the DEST, CLASS, and FORMS JCL parameters to select this printer definition.

 Add                     IP PrintWay Printer Definition
 
 Printer definition name . myprinter        
 Description . _______________________________________________________ (extend)
 Location. . . _______________________________________________________ (extend)
 
                          Component name        Custom values
 Section                  (enter to list)       (enter to customize)
 Allocation            => _________________       => * 
 Processing            => _________________       => __
 NetSpool options      => _________________       => __
 NetSpool end-of-file  => _________________       => __
 IP PrintWay options   => _________________       => __
 Protocol              => _________________       => * 
 
 / Use DEST, CLASS, and FORMS for IP PrintWay printer selection
 NetSpool LU name . ________   LU classes . . __  __  __  __  __  __   (extend)
 
 

This ISPF panel shows how to specify the DEST, CLASS, and FORMS values that IP PrintWay uses to select this printer definition. In this example, all three values are filled in. However, you can omit one or two of the values. Only a portion of the ISPF panel is shown.
