BLSUPPR2 — Map the expanded print service parameter list

Description

BLSUPPR2 maps the expanded print service parameter list. Use this parameter list when calling the expanded print service from within an installation-written interactive problem control system (IPCS) exit routine.

The expanded print service provides a means for exit routines to write data to both the terminal and the IPCS print file.

See z/OS MVS IPCS Customization for information about the expanded print service. See z/OS MVS Data Areas in z/OS Internet Library at http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/ for the mapping of the BLSUPPR2 data area.

Environment

Because BLSUPPR2 is not an executable macro, there are no specific environment requirements.

Programming requirements

None.

Restrictions

None.

Register information

Because BLSUPPR2 is not an executable macro, there is no need to save and restore register contents.

Performance implications

None.

Syntax

The standard form of the BLSUPPR2 macro is written as follows:

Syntax	Description

`name`	`name`: Symbol. Begin `name` in column 1.

␢	One or more blanks must precede BLSUPPR2.

BLSUPPR2

␢	One or more blanks must follow BLSUPPR2.

DSECT=YES	Default: DSECT=YES
DSECT=NO

Note: Users must supply a label (name), and start it in column 1 of the BLSUPPR2 macro. When the BLSUPPR2 macro is processed, the label becomes the record name and the prefix to the name of each field in the record.

Parameters

The parameters are explained as follows:

DSECT=YES
DSECT=NO: An expanded print parameter list is mapped with a DSECT (DSECT=YES) or an expanded print parameter list is mapped, but no DSECT is generated (DSECT=NO).

Example

Code the following to map the expanded print service parameter list, but not as a DSECT. All fields will appear with the prefix PPR2.

PPR2   BLSUPPR2 DSECT=NO
