CA Ideal Commands › ALTER OUTPUT DESTINATION Command

ALTER OUTPUT DESTINATION Command

The ALTER OUTPUT DESTINATION command alters the default settings for the specified printer. These values override the actual printer settings. You can define a system type output destination to CA Ideal that is actually a data set. You can then direct CA Ideal reports to that data set through the ASSIGN REPORT command in a batch run. For example:

...
//arpt  DD DSN=site.dataset.b1330,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN *
ASSIGN REPORT arpt TO DEST SYS b1330
RUN apgm
...

B1330 is defined to CA Ideal as a SYStem OUTput DESTination with a blocksize specified.

This command has the following format:

                              {WIDTH width     }
                              {HEADER opt      }
ALTER OUTPUT DESTINATION dest {TRAILER opt     } ...
                              {FF opt          }
                              {PERTASK num     }
                              {BLKSIZE nnnnn   }
                              {DISPOSITION disp}

Note: The syntax is positional. This allows you to specify multiple options, but you must specify them in the same order as shown in the previous display. For example, ALT OUT DEST xxxx HDR NO TRL NO is correct; but ALT OUT DEST xxxx TRL NO HDR NO results in a syntax error.
