PRINT Command

PRINT [ALL] [optional-heading]

Where:

ALL-Print the complete current formatted display

optional-heading-An optional heading line

Use the PRINT command to instruct CA IDMS DMLO to print the currently displayed screen or the complete current formatted display (ALL keyword specified).

Print Command Rules
  1. PRINT is valid in a TSO environment.
  2. A valid PRINT command causes one of the following messages: 
    PRINT SUCCESSFUL (self explanatory)
PRINT ERROR      (open or allocation error)

    If no message occurs, you are in an unsupported environment for the PRINT command (CICS).

  3. CA IDMS DMLO does not verify that the current formatted display matches the actual contents of the database. CA IDMS DMLO prints field modifications even if a record has not been stored or modified on the database.
  4. Maximum length for the optional heading is restricted to the remainder of the command area following the PRINT command.
  5. PRINT can be issued only from screens which have a command line area.
