CA View Print Requests

Incoming print requests can be written directly to a CA View database or be written to JES and then picked up by the CA View post-spool interface or received from CA Spool through the direct CA Spool to CA View interface. 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 report name, user ID, destination, output class, and writer name. If the print request specifies extended print attributes, these print attributes are passed on to CA View.

AFP print requests are directed to JES or CA Spool, which pass them on through the SARFSS interface so they can be processed by ACIF before they are written to a CA View database.
