PRINT Function (P)

The ELIPS PRINT function prints a listing of the selected member by dynamically allocating SYSOUT based on the SYSOUT CLASS and DEST defined on the ELIPS OPTIONS panel. The print listing's job name is the same as the TSO user ID and is routed to the JES spool and printed when the user ID logs off.

You can specify REPT or DATA on the ELIPS entry panel.

REPT prints the member's control information, history records, and data records.

DATA prints only the member's data records. When DATA is specified, if the first character of the first record is the FBA top-of-page carriage control character (1), the member is printed as format FBA. Otherwise, the data records are printed single spaced.

Note the following:

• The DATA and REPT options are not applicable to printer members, which are printed as is. If the first character of the first record is the FBA top-of-page carriage control character (1), then the member is printed as format FBA. Otherwise the member is printed as format FBM.
• You can install ELIPS to optionally support a SYSOUT program that can affect the disposition of the PRINT listing.
• The JES2 TSUCLASS OUTPUT initialization statement must specify YES for the ELIPS PRINT function to allocate SYSOUT.
