FORMDEF parameter

Parameter type

Keyword, optional

Purpose

Use the FORMDEF parameter to identify a library member that contains statements to tell the Print Services Facility™ (PSF) how to print the sysout data set on a page-mode printer (such as the 3800 Printing Subsystem Model 3). The statements can specify the following:

Overlay forms to be used during printing.
Location on the page where overlays are to be placed.
Suppressions that can be activated for specified page formats.

The member must be in the library named in the cataloged procedure that was used to initialize PSF, or in a library specified in the USERLIB parameter.

Note: FORMDEF applies only for data sets printed on a PSF-managed AFP printer.
