Defining the advanced function printer (using the PRT(nnnn) statement) z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide SA32-0991-00 |
|
JES2 supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) printers (such as the3800 model 3 executing in full function mode) as local printers only. A 3800 model 3 running in compatibility mode is functionally equivalent to a 3800 model 1. Specify a printer to operate under the control of a single functional subsystem by using the FSS= keyword on the JES2 PRT(nnnn) initialization statement. You must define each functional subsystem (and the printer(s) under its control) individually so you can access the functional subsystem applications (FSA) separately and use separate PROCLIB procedures for each functional subsystem (FSS). (See Defining a functional subsystem for advanced function Printing (using the FSS(accccccc) statement).) You can start a 3800-3 printer running under the control of either JES2 or a functional subsystem. Other AFP printers must be run under the control of an FSS. To do this, set the MODE= keyword on the PRT(nnnn) initialization statement to either JES or FSS as appropriate. The following affects how JES2 sets the MODE= parameter. Note
that all parameters referred to belong to the PRT(nnnn) initialization
statement.
Note: If you do not specify the UNIT= parameter for a MODE=JES
printer, you must use the $T PRT(nnnn) command to specify a unit address
(UNIT=) before you can start the printer through a $S PRT(nnnn) command.
Specify a procedure in one of the started task procedure libraries on SYS1.PROCLIB through the PROC= keyword on the FSS(accccccc) initialization statement. This procedure must contain the JCL needed to start the functional subsystem. JES2 starts the indicated functional subsystem with a name of procname.fssname (where the fssname is the subscript on the FSS(accccccc) statement). As system requirements change, you can use the $T PRTnnnn command to alter the initial setting of the printer. Some cases require you to drain the functional subsystem before issuing the $T command; other cases do not. This requirement is printer-specific. |
