Field descriptions
Number of lines/page
Controls when headings are printed. Specify the number of lines per page. When 0 (zero) is used, no page headings are printed. The default number of lines per page is 55, including the page headings.
Sysout class
Set the JCL SYSOUT class to any valid system value. This field cannot remain blank.
Number of copies
Specify the number of copies of output to print. Any integer from 1 (one) through 9999 is allowed.
Enter One of the Following Optional Destinations:
Destination Printer
Printing output destination that can be either the name of a remote printer or the system default printer. The default printer is specified by leaving the field blank, or entering either LOCAL or R0.
External JES Node ID and Target VM/TSO Ident
Output can be routed across JES nodes to a symbolic name on other nodes by specifying the node name and the VM or TSO user ID or other symbolic name defined at that node. This facility acts like batch JCL coding of the DEST parameter: DEST=(’node’,’ident’). Specify valid entries in both of the following fields:
External JES Node ID
Defined symbolic name of an installation-dependent JES node.
Target VM/TSO Ident
VM or TSO user ID, or other symbolic name located on the node specified in the External JES Node ID field.
Sysout Writer Name
Specify the name of an installation-dependent external writer.
Print dataset name
Specify an output data set to which File-AID/Data Solutions can write.
Disposition
Specify a disposition for the print dataset. When the disposition is NEW and the Utilities function is invoked, File-AID/Data Solutions displays the Print Dataset Attributes Specification screen:
MOD | Modified, add on to end |
NEW | New |
OLD | Old, exclusive serialization |
SHR | Share -- old, share serialization |
Volume serial
Specify the serial number of a storage device for a non-cataloged or new data set.
