resource-library

This multi-valued attribute defines the location for document-specific resources: fonts, form definitions, overlays, and page definitions.

Allowed values

You can enter up to 8 names of cataloged MVS™ data sets. Each name can be up to 44 characters. Separate multiple library names with spaces and surround the string of library names with braces. For example:

-o 'resource-library={FONT.LIBRARY OVERLAY.LIBRARY}'

Default values

1. The default resource libraries that the administrator has defined for the printer.
2. PSF or the transform determines the resource libraries.

Usage guidelines

• This attribute applies to line data and AFP documents printed on an AFP printer.
• Products that transform AFP documents can support this attribute. For information, see the documentation for the transform.
• If a resource cannot be found, PSF prints the job and prints error messages at the end of the job. Infoprint Server reports the job as completed. For information about how transforms handle missing resources, see the documentation for the transform.
• If Infoprint Server transforms the data from AFP format to PCL, PostScript, or PDF format, the user who starts the Infoprint Server daemons must have RACF® authorization to read the AFP user resource libraries. For more information, see the AFP security information in z/OS Infoprint Server Customization.
• You must have RACF authorization to read any AFP user resource library that you specify in the resource-library job attribute or USERLIB JCL parameter. If you use a job-submission method that does not authenticate your z/OS® user ID (for example, the Infoprint Port Monitor), the AFP resource library must allow universal read access.
• This attribute is equivalent to the USERLIB parameter of the OUTPUT JCL statement.
