BURST parameter

Parameter type

Keyword, optional

Purpose

Use the BURST parameter to specify that the output for the sysout data set printed on a continuous-forms AFP printer is to go to:

The burster-trimmer-stacker, to be burst into separate sheets.
The continuous forms stacker, to be left in continuous fanfold.

If the specified stacker is different from the last stacker used, or if a stacker was not previously requested, JES issues a message to the operator to thread the paper into the required stacker.

Note: BURST applies only for a data set printed on a 3800 or 3900 equipped with a burster-trimmer-stacker.
