Validating that documents can print as requested

Before accepting a print request, NetSpool can validate that the data can print as requested on the printer. If NetSpool determines that a document cannot print, NetSpool rejects the print request with a message and does not allocate a data set on the JES spool.

Table 16 lists the fields in a printer definition that NetSpool uses to validate that the print request can print on the printer. The third column in the table indicates the job attribute that the VTAM® application can specify in the embedded job attributes to request a print function.
