VPSOPT

Syntax

VPSOPT=nn,

Description

This parameter specifies special virtual printer processing options.

Valid values are:

• 1—Store both the received graphic escape character and the graphic character in the print record.
• 2—Suppress page eject for formatted LU3 print requests.
• 3—Ignore Change Direction in End-Bracket RU, so files from BOSVTAM are closed if VPSFILE=BRACKET.
• 4—Let SVF set current line to top margin.
• 5—Eliminate initial double form-feed for some LU1 applications.
• 6—Allow same printer node name and VPS name for TCP/IP-attached and FSS-attached printers.
• 7—The 3270 EOM command (X'19') is treated as an NL (new line) command for LU1 devices.
• 8—The 3270 Bell command (X'2F') is retained in the data stream.
• 10—Preserve 3270 LU3 EOM (X'19') in a CA Spool file.
• 11—Restrict processing to CR, LF, FF and EOM when processing an unformatted LU3 datastream. The VPSERROR parameter determines what will happen to other formatting commands.
• 12—If the target address of a Repeat-to-Address command is prior to the current address, the buffer is cleared from the current address to the end, and from the start to the target address is also cleared. This is correct 3270 behavior. VPSOPT=12 will support that RA only clears to the end of the buffer.
• 13—Skip final CR+LF if TCPDRIV=LPR/DSO with ENDFF=NO.
• 14—The 3270 command ProgramTab (X'05') is used for tabulation.
• 16—For LU3 only write the amount in the buffer that has been used to avoid extra blank lines.
• 17—For LU3 ignore SF intensity flags if a Start Field command indicates that a field must be dark or highlighted.
• 18—For LU3, bypass resetting VPSPMPP to standard 3270 line length such as 40, 64, 80 or 132 but keep and use the VPSPMPP value from the DEFNODE/NODE definition.
• 19—Write first file record with ASA carriage control '+' instead of '1'.
• 20—Force FF and x'0D25' to br written.
• 21—Add support for lrecl = (BUFSIZE - 53) bytes.
• 22—Add trace for each LU1/LU3 write.
• 23—Write all blank lines coming from LU1 and LU3 virtual printers into the CA Spool file. Do not use carriage controls to skip the addition of blank lines; instead, write each blank line. For LU3 virtual printers, do not skip blank lines at the end of a file.
• 24—Do not skip the horizontal tab stop when the string ends immediately before it. Also, do not skip the horizontal tab stop in column 1.
