Parameter descriptions for the initialization exit

The PRINTDS initialization exit receives the address of the standard exit parameter list. For a description of this parameter list, see TSO/E standard exit parameter list.

Figure 1 shows the exit-dependent data that the initialization exit receives beginning at offset +36 (decimal) in the parameter list.

DEPL (Parameter Entry 10): This parameter entry contains the default exit parameter list (DEPL). Table 1 shows the format of the DEPL.

For more information about the PRINTDS command and its operands, see .

Table 1. Format of the default exit parameter list
Offset (decimal)	Length	Contents or meaning
+0	4	Reserved.
+4	4	The length of the default exit parameter list (DEPL). The value is X'1E'. The length is the length of the data starting at offset +8 in the DEPL. The length does not include the first two words: Offset +0 - reserved Offset +4 - length (X'1E') However, the length does include the four reserved bytes beginning at offset +34.
+8	2	The value for the BIND operand in binary. The default is 0. The possible values are 0 - 255.
+10	2	The value for the TMARGIN operand in binary. The default is 0. The possible values are 0 - 4094. However: `PAGELEN - TMARGIN - BMARGIN ≥ 6`
+12	2	The value for the BMARGIN operand in binary. The default is 0. The possible values are 0 - 4094. However: `PAGELEN - TMARGIN - BMARGIN ≥ 6`
+14	2	The value for the PAGELEN operand in binary. The default is 60. The possible values are 6 - 4094. However: `PAGELEN - TMARGIN - BMARGIN ≥ 6`
+16	1	The value for the CLASS operand in character format. The default is A. The possible values are A - Z or 0 - 9.
+17	1	Reserved.
+18	2	The value for the BURST/NOBURST operand in binary. The possible values are: 1 - BURST 2 - NOBURST The default is 2 (NOBURST).
+20	2	The value for the COPIES operand in binary. The default is 1. The possible values are 1 - 255.
+22	2	The value for the HOLD/NOHOLD operand in binary. The possible values are: 1 - HOLD 2 - NOHOLD The default is 2 (NOHOLD).
+24	2	The value for the MEMBER/DIRECTORY/ALL operand in binary. The possible values are: 1 - MEMBER 2 - DIRECTORY 3 - ALL The default is 3 (ALL).
+26	2	The value for the NUM/SNUM/NONUM operand in binary. The possible values are: 1 - NUM 2 - SNUM 3 - NONUM The default is 3 (NONUM).
+28	2	The NUM or SNUM column location that specifies the column in which the line number field begins. If NUM or SNUM is specified, the value must be 1-32,760 in binary. If NONUM is specified, the column location is ignored.
+30	2	The NUM or SNUM field length. If NUM or SNUM is specified, the field length must be 1 - 8 in binary. If NONUM is specified, the field length is ignored.
+32	2	The value for the TITLE/NOTITLE operand in binary. The possible values are: 1 - TITLE 2 - NOTITLE The default is 1 (TITLE). Note: For more information about the TITLE/NOTITLE values, see Restrictions and limitations.
+34	4	Reserved.
