To stream file (TOSTMF) parameter

You can use the TOSTMF parameter to cause the output data to be written to a stream file in the integrated file system. When the TOSTMF parameter is used with the Workstation Customization object (WSCST) parameter, the output data is transformed to another output data format before being written to the stream file.

You can specify either a directory or a stream file name for this parameter. All directories in the path name must exist. New directories are not created. If the TOSTMF value refers to a directory, the system will create a stream file in that directory with a unique name derived from the printer file name. If the TOSTMF value is a file name, a steam file by that name must not already exist.

The default value for this parameter is *NONE. It causes the output to be written to a spooled file or directly to the printer device.
