The system parameters required by the LPD server are passed by
the PARM option on the EXEC statement of the LPD cataloged procedure.
Update the following parameters as required.
- LPDDATA=‘data_set_name’
- Specifies the fully qualified name of the data set containing
the LPD configuration statements. This data set can be sequential
or a member of a PDS.

- Specifies the high-level qualifier to be used for temporary data
sets created by the LPD server. Include both the PREFIX keyword and
your qualifier in the quoted string. The qualifier may be up to 26
characters. If it is blank, the default is the procedure name. The
LPD task requires the authority to create and modify data sets with
this prefix.
- DIAG=‘options’
- Specifies any of the following diagnostic options in a quoted
string of keywords separated by blanks. For example, DIAG='VERSION
TRACE'
- VERSION
- Displays the version number.

the //SYSOUT DD data set specified in your LPD server cataloged procedure.
- TRACE
- Causes a detailed trace of activities within the LPD server to
record in the //SYSOUT DD data set specified in your LPD server cataloged
procedure. The detailed tracing can also be activated with the DEBUG
