Procedure for specifying attributes

To format data sets using an FCB, specify these fields in the printer definition:

• (Basic mode) On the IP PrintWay™ Options panel, specify this field:
  • Formatting: Select Use FCB.

  When you select Use FCB in the Formatting field, IP PrintWay basic mode uses the FCB only if an FCB is specified for the data set. If no FCB is specified, IP PrintWay does standard formatting. Therefore, you can select Use FCB even if some data sets do not use an FCB. In a JES3 environment, however, you might want to configure the IP PrintWay basic mode FSA so that JES3 does not pass a default FCB name to IP PrintWay.

  IP PrintWay extended mode ignores this field. It always uses the FCB if one is specified for a data set.

• (Optional) On the Allocation panel, specify the name of a default FCB in the FCB field.

Example

This ISPF panel shows how to request that IP PrintWay basic mode use the FCB, if one is specified, to format the data. Only a portion of the ISPF panel is shown.
