Parameter Description for R(nnnn).PR(m)
- ASIS=Yes|No
- ASIS=Yes causes JES2 to send the print data to the remote printer
without suppressing extraneous ejects or adding an eject at the end
of a data set. The remote printer will receive the data set as it
appears on the JES2 spool.
ASIS=No causes JES2 to send print data to the remote printer, suppressing extraneous ejects and inserting an eject at the end of the data set.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- CCTL=Yes|No
- CCTL=Yes specifies that carriage control characters are to be
placed in the output stream transmitted to this remote printer. This
operand is for use with only SNA devices. CCTL=No is required if SELECT=BASICnn
is also specified. When CCTL=No is specified, data will not be compressed
or compacted, and SCS control characters will not be placed in the
output string.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- CKPTLINE=nnnnn|0
- Specifies the maximum
number (0-32767) of lines in a logical page. The size of a logical
page is also defined as the number of lines printed until:
- A channel skip is encountered.
- The line count specified by LINECT= parameter on the PRINTDEF statement, the /*JOBPARM control statement, the /*OUTPUT statement, the JCL OUTPUT statement, or the JOB statement accounting field has been exceeded.
If you specify 0 for CKPTLINE=, a logical page is defined only by items 1 and 2, above.
If the line count specified in item 2 does not equal zero, setting CKPTLINE= to a value greater than line count results in the line count being used as the definition of a logical page; it overrides CKPTLINE=.
JES2 uses CKPTLINE= in conjunction with CKPTPAGE= to determine the checkpoint interval for data sets having a line count of zero and no channel skips.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- CKPTPAGE=nnnnn|1
- Specifies the number (1-32767) of logical
pages to be printed before each checkpoint is taken. (See the description
of the CKPTLINE= parameter.)
For SNA remote printers, the CKPTPAGE= and CKPTLINE= parameters determine the number of logical records within an SNA chain. JES2 will not take a checkpoint until it receives acknowledgment that the chain was received successfully by the remote. The chain size is the number of logical pages specified by CKPTPAGE=.
For BSC remote printers, the CKPTPAGE= and CKPTLINE= parameters determine the number of logical records sent to the remote before a checkpoint is taken. JES2 will not take a checkpoint until it receives acknowledgment that the chain was received successfully by the remote.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- {CLass|Queue}=c1[...cn]|AJ
- Specifies the output classes to be processed by this printer.
You can specify any number of classes (A-Z and 0-9) up to a maximum
number of 15 classes.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- CMPCT=Yes|No
- For SNA remote printers only, specifies
that this printer has compaction capabilities and forces this printer
to use compaction if the corresponding RJE workstation initialization
statement (RMT(nnnn) ) specifies COMPACT=Yes. Specifying CMPCT=Yes
also causes the data to be compressed. Specifying CMPCT=NO turns
off compaction even if compaction is specified on the RMT(nnnn) initialization
statement. Note:
- If the RMT(nnnn) initialization statement specifies compaction and the R(nnnn).PR(m) initialization statement does not specify CMPCT=NO, compression will be forced regardless of the CMPCT= specification.
- CMPCT=Yes is valid only if CCTL=Yes.
- COMPACT= must be nonzero. If COMPACT=0, no compaction table is used and overrides a CMPCT=Yes specification.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- COMPACT=nn|0
- Specifies the compaction table (0-99) to be used for all outbound
remote printer data. The COMPACT= parameter of RMT(nnnn) must indicate
that compaction is supported by this printer. A compaction table value
of 0 indicates no compaction table will be used, and will also override
CMPCT=Yes, if it was specified.
Note that if a compaction table number is specified that does not match any compaction table defined by a COMPACT initialization statement, JES2 uses the default of 0.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- COMPress=Yes|No
- Specifies this printer has compression and expansion capabilities.
Specifying COMPress=Yes forces this printer to use compression only
if the corresponding RJE workstation (RMT(nnnn) ) and line (LINE(nnnn) )
initialization statements have COMPress=Yes specified. Specifying
COMPress=No turns off compression for this remote SNA printer even
if the corresponding RMT(nnnn) initialization statement specifies
COMPress=Yes. For SNA remote printers only,
- If CCTL=No, then COMPress=Yes is not valid.
- If COMPress=Yes, JES2 sets the corresponding bit in the RJE BIND to on.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- CReator=cccccccc
- Specifies the 1- to 8-character userid whose output can be selected
by this printer. Wildcard specifications are allowed on this parameter.
If you allow this parameter to default, JES2 selects all output for processing, regardless of the userid.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- DEVFCB=xxxx
- Specifies the forms control buffer (FCB) this printer uses if
the printer selects output that does not have an FCB associated with
it.
If you do not specify DEVFCB=, the printer uses the last FCB that you loaded to process the output if that FCB has the default bit turned on. Otherwise, the printer uses the FCB specified on the PRINTDEF statement.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- EJECT=Yes|No
- Specifies whether JES2 sends a page eject to a remote printer
on the printer's first use following the start of an RJE session depending
upon the assumed position of the printer. JES2 assumes that the remote
printer is not positioned at the top of a page on the first use after
JES2 is started, restarted, or after an RJE session fails and the
remote printer is not at the top of a page.
EJECT=Yes causes JES2 to send a page eject when the remote printer is not assumed to currently be at the top of a page. Use this parameter value when the output is destined for a physical printer.
EJECT=No ensures that a print stream never begins with a page eject. Workstations that write SYSOUT to media other than paper can use this parameter to create files that do not contain page ejects in the first line.
You can change this parameter after initialization using a $T command; however, the change takes effect at the beginning of the next RJE session, regardless of whether printing has begun.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- FCB|C=xxxx
- Specifies the forms control buffer image or the carriage
control tape that is to be initially mounted on this printer.
For all printers, xxxx is the forms control buffer (FCB) identifier that resides in SYS1.IMAGELIB.
If you do not specify a value, JES2 provides impact printers with the value of the FCB parameter on the PRINTDEF statement as a default.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- FCBLOAD=Yes|No
- FCBLOAD=Yes specifies that FCB support is to be provided for this
printer. If SETUP=PDIR is specified in the RMT(nnnn) statement, FCBLOAD=No
is forced. Note: FCBLOAD= is effective only if this is a 3211 printer attached to a multileaving RJE workstation that has the text-transparency feature (TRANSPAR=Yes specified for both the LINE(nnnn) and the RMT(nnnn) statements), or if this printer is a SNA RJE workstation. (FCBLOAD for an SNA terminal uses only one stop per channel, for a maximum of 12 stops. Also, the length of FCB images that can be used for this printer cannot exceed the line length specified for this printer (PRWDITH) minus 2.)
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- Forms=xxxxxxxx
- Specifies the 1- to 8-character forms identifier of the forms
that are to be loaded initially in this printer. Wildcard specifications
are allowed on this parameter.
If you specify no value for this parameter, JES2 will use the forms identifier specified by the STDFORM parameter on the OUTDEF statement.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- JOBname=jccccccc
- Specifies the 1- to 8-character job name for jobs whose output
can be selected by this printer. Wildcard specifications are allowed
on this parameter.
If you allow this parameter to default, JES2 selects all output for processing, regardless of the jobname.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- LIMit=m|m-n|m-*
- Specifies that output is selected for specific printers
based upon the amount of the output (in records). The values m and
n specify within what output size range (in records) a job output
element (JOE) must fall to be processed by this printer. The integer
m specifies the lower output size limit and n specifies the upper
output size limit.
For both variables m and n, you can specify a range of values 0-4294967295. m and n can be equal. If they are not equal, n must be larger than m.
If you code only m, that value becomes both the lower and upper limit. If m-* is specified, the upper limit is set to the default value of 4294967295.
After a warm start, the original size of the output (before any printing) will be used to determine where the remainder of the output will be printed. That is, the original size of the JOE will be used to determine output device selection.
Default: If you omit this parameter, JES2 uses the defaults m=0 and n=4294967295.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- LRECL=nnn|120
- For SNA remote printers
only, specify the logical record length (1-255) of data transmitted
to this SNA remote printer. This value must not exceed the printer
width specified during RMT generation (through the &PRTSIZE RMT
generation statement) for this terminal. (See z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide for further information.) You can use LRECL in place
of the PRWIDTH= parameter when specifying record sizes for records
destined for remote devices. When calculating the value of this parameter,
carriage control characters (CCTL) should not be included.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- NEWPAGE={1|ALL|DEFAULT}
- Specifies when JES2 treats a ‘skip to channel’ as a new page.
- 1
- Specifies that JES2 treats only skip to channel 1 as a new page.
- ALL
- Specifies that JES2 treats skip to any channel as a new page.
- DEFAULT
- Specifies that JES2 uses the NEWPAGE= value specified on the PRINTDEF initialization statement.
Modification: $T R(nnnn).PR(m) operator command.
- PLIM={m|m-n|m-*}
- Specifies the lower and upper limits (in pages) for the size of output
that is to be selected by this printer.
For both variables m and n, you can specify a range of values from 0 through 2147483647. m and n can be equal. If they are not equal, n must be larger than m.
If you code only m, that value becomes both the lower and upper limit. If you specify m-*, the upper limit is set to the default value (4294967295).- Normally, you should only use PLIM= with functional subsystem (FSS) printers capable of printing page–mode data.
- If the printing of an output group is interrupted, JES2 compares the original size of the output (the number of pages before any printing rather than the pages remaining) with the PLIM= specifications.
- When you specify R(nnnn).PR(m) PLIM= as a non–zero value , JES2 honors PRMODE=PAGE for remote printers and WS= criteria for remote printers.
- PRMode=(vvvvvvvv[,vvvvvvvv...])
- Specifies one to eight names used by JES2 to direct output
data sets to this output device. Wildcard specifications are allowed
on this parameter. If only one PRMODE= is specified, the parentheses
are optional. Users can assign a PRMODE= value to the data sets by
using JCL OUTPUT statements. However, if the user does not specify
a process mode for the data set, JES2 will assign a process mode.
Your installation may have output devices capable of printing other than line-mode data sets. If so, you can specify a name(s) on this parameter designating the output device as capable of accepting such data sets. For installation-defined process modes, use the Uvvvvvvv form of the process mode designation. The U identifies the process mode as installation defined. Installation-defined and IBM-defined process mode designations may be mixed on one PRMODE parameter statement. For example, you can specify names on this parameter designating the output device as capable of accepting data sets that can be printed on either a plotter device (for example, UPLOT2) or a line-mode printer by specifying:
PRMODE=(UPLOT2,LINE)Note:- You can specify only up to eight process modes on a single device; however, you can specify as many as 255 different modes throughout a particular JES2 member.
- Within a job entry network, receiving nodes must designate the same process mode as that specified on the data set(s) sent to them. If the receiving node has not specified the same process mode, the data set(s) will not be printed.
Default: LINE, except for those data sets containing formatting controls that can only be processed by page-mode printers. The default for these data sets is PAGE causing an error condition because the page-mode specifications are incompatible with remote print processing.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- PRWIDTH=nnn|120
- Specifies the number (1-255) of characters to be printed on one
line. This value must not exceed the printer width specified during
RMT generation of this multileaving terminal (through the &PRTSIZE
statement for multileaving workstations). PRWIDTH= should not be set
greater than 120 for printers attached to BSC terminals defined as
2770s without the buffer-expansion feature.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- RANGE={J|S|T}nnnnn[-nnnnn]|J1-999999
- Specifies the job ID range for output jobs that can be selected
by this printer. Use “J” to specify batch jobs, “S” to specify started
tasks, and “T” for TSO/E jobs. You can specify a single job number
or range (up to 999999) of jobs. If you code this parameter, you can
specify one or two values:
- If you specify one value, that value becomes both the low and the high end of the range.
- If you specify two values, the first value is the low end of the range and the second value the high end. The two values can be equal. If they are not equal, the second value must be larger than the first value.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- Routecde=rtcode
- Specifies up to four internal
route codes to be assigned to this printer. The maximum size of a route code is 18 characters. Wildcard specifications are allowed on this parameter for userids only. You can specify a route code in any of the forms listed below.
- Ummmm
- destid
- remote
- user
- Ummmm
- Indicates that output for special local routing is selected. The special routing numbers range from 1 to 32767.
- destid
- Indicates that output routed to the specified node(s) is selected.
If destid is specified alone, it refers to both the node and the RJE
workstation. Note: If you specify a destid on the Routecde parameter, you must place the DESTID initialization statement before the R(nnnn).PR(m) statement in the initialization stream.
- LOCAL | ANYLOCAL
- Indicates that output routed to the local node is selected.
- remote
- Indicates that output routed to a RJE workstation is selected.
Remote can be specified in any of the following ways:
- Rmmmm
- Indicates that output routed to the specified RJE workstation is selected. Rmmmm can also be specified as RMmmmm or RMTmmmm. The value specified for mmmm can range from 1 to 32767.
- destid
- Indicates that output routed to a destid referring to an RJE workstation is selected.
- user
- Indicates that output routed to a specific userid is selected.
Generic userids are also valid. A generic userid is a userid that
ends in an asterisk (*), and refers to all userids that begin with
the characters preceding the *. Note that the * can only be specified
in the last position of the userid.
A userid at the local node must be in the form of a valid TSO/E userid. It must begin with an alphabetic (A-Z) or a special character ( @ # or $ ), and the remaining characters may be alphabetic, numeric, or special characters.
You can override the destination specified with the ROUTECDE= keyword with the set operator command ($T). If you specify only one route code, the parentheses are optional. To specify a null route code, use Routecde=() to cause this printer to select no work if Routecde is also specified in the WS list.
If you do not specify this parameter, JES2 assigns the route code of the RJE workstation to which the printer is attached. (See the description of the RMT(nnnn) statement in this topic for more information about the route code.)
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- SELECT=PRINTnn|EXCHnn|BASICnn
- For SNA remote printers only, specifies the device type
(PRINT, EXCH, or BASIC) and device subaddress (n-1) to which output
queued for this remote device will be sent. The SELECT options and
their meanings are:
- Option
- Meaning
- PRINTnn
- Output sent to printer
- EXCHnn
- Output sent to exchange diskette device
- BASICnn
- Output sent to basic exchange diskette device
The value nn specifies the desired device number. The value of nn ranges from 1-15 (subaddress 0-14). If nn is omitted, then any available device (subaddress=15) of the specified type (PRINT, EXCH, or BASIC) will be used. When BASIC is specified, CCTL=NO must be specified and LRECL= must not exceed 128. See the RJE workstation publication for your device for valid device type subaddresses and their requirements.
Example: To cause all output queued to this RJE workstation route code to be sent to an exchange diskette device with subaddress 0, specify:SELECT=EXCH1If you do not specify this parameter, JES2 provides for standard device selection of print and subaddress selection based upon printer number.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- Sep=Yes|No
- Specifies
whether (Yes) or not (No) JES2 initially provides separator pages
between data set groups. (Separator pages can be specified later by
the JES2 $T command.) With the exception of the setup message $HASP190,
SEP=NO also suppresses printing of operator messages at the RJE workstation.
JES2 will not print JESNEWS data unless the job separator page is
printed. This specification can be overridden by JES2 Exit 1. See z/OS JES2 Installation Exits for information about Exit 1.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- SEPDS=Yes|No
- Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) data set separator pages are
desired for the data sets within the output groups selected for processing
by printers. For this parameter to affect processing, you must customize
JES2 or a functional subsystem as follows.
For JES-mode printers (MODE=JES), your systems programmer must have written an Exit 15 (Output Data Set/Copy Separators) that examines the SEPDS= specification and produces separator pages when SEPDS=Yes. Exit 15 controls both the production of separator pages and whether they are affected by the SEPDS= parameter. If Exit 15 is enabled, it is invoked even if SEPDS=No. To enable Exit 15, see z/OS JES2 Installation Exits.
For functional subsystem printers (MODE=FSS), JES2 makes an indication of the parameter's setting available to the functional subsystem. If an FSS printer is controlled by PSF, an APSUX03 exit must have been installed to produce data set header pages. APSUX03 is not invoked if SEPDS=NO. For more information about the APSUX03 exit, see PSF for z/OS: Customization.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
Note: Be careful not to confuse this parameter with the SEP= parameter. - SETUP=HALT|NOHALT
- Specifies whether JES2 issues the device setup message ($HASP190)
after a change of device characteristics (for example, forms control).
SETUP=HALT halts the printer and issues the setup message. This allows the operator to verify the changes to the printer.
SETUP=NOHALT allows the printer to process output without requiring setup verification by the operator. With SETUP=NOHALT, you can load any printer characteristics that require no manual intervention. The printer uses any previously existing setup characteristics that you have not changed to process output.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- START=Yes|No
- Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) this printer is to be started
automatically when JES2 starts processing.
Modification: $S Rnnnn.PRm operator command or $P Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- SUSPEND=Yes|No
- For BSC remote printers only, specifies whether (Yes) or
not (No) JES2 interrupts the printing of a data set every time this
remote printer sends an end-of-transmission (EOT) message. An RJE
workstation operator might interrupt printing in order to transmit
jobs or JES2 commands to the JES2 member.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
Note: This parameter applies only to printers that are connected to BSC hardware terminals. - TRACE=Yes|No|P
- Note: TRACE=Yes is identical to specifying TRACE=P.Specifies whether tracing is activated (Yes) or deactivated (No) for all remote printers. To trace a remote printer, you must also provide the following initialization statements:
- TRACE(n) START=Yes
- TRACEDEF ACTIVE=Yes
This parameter setting can be overridden by the $T R(nnnn).PR(m) command. Remote printer tracing is also controlled by trace IDs 11, 12, 14, 15, the TRACE(n) and TRACEDEF initialization statements, and the $S TRACE command.
Note: TRACE=Yes is identical to specifying TRACE=P. (See z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, the TRACE(n) and TRACEDEF initialization statements in this topic, and z/OS JES2 Commands for a description of the $S TRACE command for further information concerning the tracing facility.)Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm command
Note: If you modify this parameter value and then restart JES2 with a hot start, the parameter value in effect before termination will be used. (For further information, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.) - TRANS=Yes|No|DEFAULT
- If TRANS=Yes specifies that JES2 translates each line of output
sent to the device regardless of the device type or the setting of
the PRINTDEF TRANS= parameter.
TRANS=No specifies that JES2 does not translate output sent to the device regardless of the device type or the setting of the PRINTDEF TRANS= parameter.
TRANS=DEFAULT (or TRANS= is omitted) specifies that if TRANS=Yes is specified on the PRINTDEF statement, JES2 translates each line of output sent to the device. Otherwise, JES2 does not translate output sent to the device.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm,TRANS= operator command. Do not issue this command unless the printer is inactive or drained.
- UCS|T=xxxx
- Specifies the print train, print
chain, or print band default universal character set (UCS) image that
is mounted on this printer for use by output without a specific UCS
attribute. A UCS image for a printer can be modified through the JES2
$T Rnnnn.PRm command, but the default UCS image that is mounted on
this printer for use by output without a specific UCS attribute cannot
be changed.
If you do not specify this parameter, JES2 defaults to the identifier specified by the UCS parameter on the PRINTDEF statement.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- Volume=(v1[,v2][,v3][,v4])|()
- Specifies the 5- to 6-character volume serial number of a volume
containing a spool data set. Only output jobs containing tracks on
the specified volume can be selected for printing. As many as four
volumes can be specified. Use commas to separate individual volume
IDs and enclose the list in parenthesis if more than one ID is specified.
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- Writer=xxxxxxxx
- Specifies the 1- to 8-character writer name assigned to this printer.
Wildcard specifications are allowed on this parameter.
Default: no writer name
Modification: $T Rnnnn.PRm operator command.
- WS=criteria | (W,Q,R,PRM,LIM/F)
- Specifies the output selection criteria (listed below)
for this device. Criteria not specified are not considered during
output selection, although they are used by JES2 to determine setup
requirements.
Unless otherwise noted, if the criterion is specified before the slash, an exact match is required; if after the slash, an exact match is preferred (and attempted in left to right priority) but not required, only the priority order is considered.
You can specify the following criteria:- Burst
- Specifies that the current BURST= specification is either required or preferred.
- CLass|Queue
- Specifies that a match must be found for the output classes specified
on this device. If CLass/Queue is omitted from the WS= list, all
output queues (beginning with queue A) will be searched for work.
Note: If specified before the slash, the priority of the device characteristics table class list is from left to right. If specified after the slash, there is no device characteristics table class list priority ordering. To increase performance, this criterion should be placed before the slash.
- CReator
- Specifies that output for the current userid is preferred. JES2 attempts to consecutively select all eligible output for a particular userid. However, output is only grouped in this manner depending upon the specification of the current work selection list and output queues. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
- FCB|C
- Specifies that the current forms control buffer (FCB) image or carriage control tape is either required or preferred.
- FLash|O
- Specifies that the current FLASH specification is either required or preferred.
- Forms
- Specifies that the current FORMS specification is either required or preferred. If FORMS is omitted from the criteria list, work selection will not contain any forms checking.
- JOBname
- Specifies that JES2 gathers all output for a job and attempt to
process that output consecutively. The JOBNAME= parameter for a particular
device determines what job name JES2 selects when JES2 has processed
all output that matches the current job name.
- If JOBname= is specified before the slash in the WS= list:
JES2 selects only those jobs that match the value specified on JOBNAME= for a specific device. When JOBNAME= is specified as a generic name, JES2 only processes jobs that match that pattern and attempts to process all output for that job name consecutively.
- If JOBname= is specified after the slash in the WS= list:
JES2 uses the value specified on JOBNAME= to select new job names for the specific device. If there are no job names that match the JOBNAME= specification, JES2 selects jobs as if JOBname were not listed in the WS= list. A device gathers and processes all output for a particular job before again examining the value specified on JOBNAME= for more jobs.
If you require JES2 to group jobs based on job name but do not want JES2 to prefer a particular JOBNAME= pattern, specify JOBNAME=* on the device statement and code JOBname after the slash in the WS= list.
- If JOBname= is specified before the slash in the WS= list:
- LIMit
- Specifies that the limits of output, as noted on the LIMIT= keyword
(on this initialization parameter) will be supported, that is, the
amount of generated output must fall within the LIMIT= specification.
This subparameter has no effect as a work selection value for files received from a node that does not provide a page count for its files. For more information, see the sending node's reference documentation.
- PRMode|PMD
- Specifies that the current PRMODE specification is preferred.
If more than one mode is specified, they are in left to right priority
order. Note: To print output, a match must be found; this criterion should be placed before the slash.
- Priority
- Specifies that output priority will be considered. Priority is
not matched with any other parameter; rather, it specifies that a
higher output priority receives greater output preference. If specified
before the slash, the importance of selecting output by priority is
increased. Note: To prevent performance degradation, this criterion should be placed after the slash.
- Routecde
- Specifies that only output destined for a destination specified
by a route code listed on the ROUTECDE= parameter is eligible for
selection by this device. Note:
- If Routecde is specified before the slash, the route code(s) are in left to right priority order; if specified after the slash, there is no such priority order. To prevent performance degradation, this criteria should be placed before the slash.
- If WS= is added to this remote printer statement, you must specify Routecde in the WS= list.
- RANGE
- Specifies that the current job ID range is preferred. If specified to the left of the slash, an exact match is required.
- Volume
- Specifies that only output with tracks on the currently specified volume can be selected for printing. If specified to the left of the slash, the volumes are considered to be in left to right priority order. If specified to the right of the slash, no priority order exists, but an exact match is still required.
- Writer
- Specifies that the writer name (W=) specification is either required or preferred.
- UCS|T
- Specifies that the currently mounted print train (on impact printers only) is either required or preferred. If omitted from the work selection list, the UCS specified for the output is not required to match the device setup, but a setup message will be issued to the operator if the UCS specifications differ.
Note:- Embedded comments are not allowed within the WS= parameter specification.
- The LIM= subparameter has no effect as a work selection value for files received from a node that does not provide a page count for its files. For more information, see the sending node's reference documentation.
