sysout-job-id

This single-valued attribute specifies the job ID to assign to the system output data sets (sysout data sets) that Infoprint Server creates on the JES spool. The system operator can use this job ID to locate the sysout data sets on the JES spool.

Allowed values

You can enter a text string of up to 8 characters. The first character must be a letter or a national (#, $, @) character. Other characters can be letters, numbers, or national (#, $, @) characters. If the text string contains #, $, or @, enclose the text string in single or double quotation marks. For example:

 -o "sysout-job-id='#123'"

Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase letters.

Default value

• If you use the Print Interface subsystem, the job ID that z/OS® assigns to your job is used.
• If you do not use the Print Interface subsystem, the Infoprint Server job ID is used. The Infoprint Server job ID is a unique identifier composed of the 2-character prefix (default is PS) followed by a unique number. You can use this number to query or cancel your job with the lpstat or cancel commands.

Usage guidelines

• You cannot use the value you specify to query or cancel your job with the lp or lpstat command.
• The job ID you specify is not written in the SMF type 6 accounting record that either IP PrintWay™ or PSF writes.
• JES commands do not display this job ID. JES commands display the job ID that z/OS assigns to the job.
• You can use this attribute to search for print jobs using Infoprint Central.
• If this attribute is specified with the PRTATTRS JCL parameter, IP PrintWay ignores it.
