You can define output devices, such as printers and punches, so that they can selectroute codes for themselves and for remote workstations during JES2 initialization. Use the following initialization statements:

• OFF(n).ST for SYSOUT transmitters.
• PRT(nnnn) for local printers.
• PUN(nnnn) for local punches.
• R(nnnnn).PR(m) for remote printers.
• R(nnnnn).PU(m) for remote punches.

If you specify R on an output device's work selection parameter, the device can select only output with a route code that matches a route code specified on the output device's Routcde= parameter. To specify work selection values for an installation's readers, printers, and punches, see Variable work selection criteria. Most devices specify R in their WS= list. If they do not, JES2 assumes that the device can select output with any route code. JES2 does not allow printers and punches to select output destined to a different node.
