offset-stacking

This single-valued attribute controls when PSF does offset stacking. You can use offset stacking to separate printed output on cut-sheet printers and on continuous-forms printers that support offset stacking.

ISPF field name

Offset stacking

Allowed values

You can enter one of these fixed values:

dataset

PSF does offset stacking at the start of a new data set or copy of a data set.

job

PSF does offset stacking at the start of a new job.

none

PSF does not do offset stacking.

Usage guidelines

• This attribute lets you control offset stacking separately from copy marking. If you select a value in this attribute for a printer that supports offset stacking, the COPYMARK parameter (in the JES initialization statement) and the suppress-copy-marks attribute control only copy marking and not offset stacking.
• If you do not specify this attribute, the COPYMARK parameter and the suppress-copy-marks attribute control both copy marking and offset stacking.
• PSF uses the value in this attribute for all jobs unless you override the value in a PSF Exit 7 Begin Data Set (BDS) call.
