Commands to set options for the print environment. Command to define the master or another user's JOBCARD. Output destination definitions are stored in a member in ADROUT, which is used to create an on-line destination table. When CICS is started, PSS checks for the destination table. If it does not exist, the table is created from the destination definitions stored in ADROUT. To enter destination definitions in the ADROUT member, use the DEFINE OUTPUT DESTINATION command.
Defining Printer Destinations The printer destination table resides in the ADROUT library. Keep the following facts in mind:. Each system and network printer must be defined using the DEFINE OUTPUT DESTINATION command. You can modify network printers using the ALTER OUTPUT DESTINATION NETWORK command once they are defined. LIBRARY is already defined as an output destination when CA IPC PSS component is installed and ADROUT is initialized. You can define a printer as either a SYSTEM or NETWORK destination.
Prints to NETWORK destinations run synchronously. Prints to SYSTEM destinations submit batch print jobs. CA IPC PSS supports network printers that are 328x-compatible. All TCT entries should exist in the CICS regions sharing an ADROUT library.
For more information regarding multiple environments and the considerations for sharing ADROUT, see. Network Printer Definition Considerations When defining network printers, you can specify additional characteristics and hardware overrides. These characteristics include:. Formfeed control.
