Procedure for specifying attributes

On the Processing panel, specify these fields:

• Resubmit for filtering: Select this field to enable the IP PrintWay™ basic mode transform function.
• Data Format and Filter:
  • Select the data format and specify the associated filter program to transform the data.
  • (Optional) Specify other fields used by the filters. For information about the fields to specify, see Planning printer definitions for transforms.
• Validation fields: (Optional) Specify fields that Print Interface uses to validate the print request, such as the Duplex supported field. For information about these fields, see Validating that documents can print as requested. By default, Print Interface does not do validation.

On the Allocation panel, specify the JES allocation parameters that Print Interface uses when it allocates data sets on the JES spool after filtering. For information about these fields, see Specifying JES allocation parameters. For example, be sure to specify values for the JES work-selection parameters, such as CLASS, that IP PrintWay uses to select data sets from the JES spool. (For more information about JES work-selection parameters, see z/OS Infoprint Server Customization.) In some cases, the values the job submitter specified on the OUTPUT JCL statement override the corresponding values you specify in the Allocation panel. Table 32 shows the OUTPUT JCL statement parameters that override the values on the Allocation panel.

Example

This ISPF panel shows how to request that all line data and AFP data be transformed to PCL data using the afpxpcl.dll filter. Only a portion of the ISPF panel is shown.

This ISPF panel shows how to specify the JES allocation values that Print Interface uses when it allocates the data set on the JES spool.

Result: Print Interface allocates data sets on the JES spool with CLASS=E and DEST=BLDG5. Print Interface uses the FORMS value specified by the job submitter on the OUTPUT JCL statement instead of std, which is specified in the FORMS field. For information about other JCL values that override values specified on this panel, see Table 32.
