z/OS and JES2/JES3 Print Requests

Incoming print requests can be routed to the JES2 or JES3 spooling systems as dynamically allocated SYSOUT data sets. If the print request specifies extended print attributes, these print attributes are passed on to JES2 or JES3 using dynamic OUTPUT statement allocation.

The incoming print requests can be stored as EBCDIC text, AFP, PCL or binary print files. Configuration parameters can be used to specify how the LPR control file lines must be mapped into JCL parameters such as DDname, destination, output class and writer name.

Standard CA Deliver, CA Dispatch, and CA Spool pre-spool intercept support can redirect the SYSOUT data sets before they are written to the JES spool.
