SYSTEM name A system printer name.

NETWORK name A network printer (not available in batch).

Note: The same output printed at multiple network printers retains the NET DEST options of the first print request. For example, output number 5 printed at DEST NET PRT1, defined with HDR NO, is printed without a header at any DEST NET regardless of how the network printer is defined in CA Ideal.

COPIES nn

Number of copies to print on a system or network printer. This clause is ignored in batch.

NAME print‑output

Name to assign to the output if the destination is to the output library.

DISPOSITION

Specifies a disposition. When a print request is issued (online or batch) and the destination is the output library, output is placed in the output library for browsing at the terminal.

When a print request is printed online and the destination is a system or network printer, the output is placed in the output library with the disposition having the following effects:

KEEP The job is printed and a copy of the output is retained in the output library.

RELEASE The job is printed and a copy of the output is retained in the output library.

HOLD The output is held until released.

When a print request is issued in batch and the destination is a system printer, the output is printed on the system printer and no copy is retained in the output library.

DESCRIPTION 'string'

A 1‑ to 32‑character description of the output.
