The IBM-defined installation exit, Exit 1, allows you to provide an exit routine to control production of the standard separator page or to create your own separator page to replace or print with the standard separator page. Additionally, the IBM-defined installation exit, Exit 23, allows you to provide exit routines to control production of a job separator page for page-mode printers. This exit allows only separator page suppression or modification of the FSI job separator page area (JSPA) control block used to build the separator page. Print Services Facility™ creates the separator page.

JES2 writes the separator pages before and after processing the output that one output group represents.You can create separator pages for each data set, or a copy of each data set, by enabling Exit 15 (Output Data Set/Copy Separators). If you do not enable Exit 15, JES2 prints separator pages only for the start and end of an output group. See z/OS JES2 Installation Exits for information on installation exit routine coding and implementation.
