resource-directories

This multi-valued attribute defines the directories that contain TrueType and OpenType fonts that PSF uses to process data sets. PSF searches these directories before searching system-defined resource directories. PSF searches the directories in the order that you specify them.

Allowed values

You can enter up to 8 directories. Each directory name can be up to 255 characters. The first character must be a slash. If a name contains blanks or special characters other than a period or a slash, (such as $ & ( ) > < | ' " #), enclose the name in single or double quotation marks. Separate multiple directories with spaces and surround the string of directories with braces. For example:

-o 'resource-directories={/u/myuserid/truetype /u/myuserid/opentype}'

Default values

1. The default resource directories that the administrator has defined for the printer.
2. PSF determines the resource directories.

Usage guidelines

• PSF must be enabled for Unicode. If a PSF FSS definition exists, the Unicode Enabled field must be selected.
• This attribute is equivalent to the USERPATH parameter of the OUTPUT JCL statement.
• To find out how to install fonts, see PSF for z/OS: User’s Guide.
