DESTVAL

Syntax

DESTVAL=YES | NO | DYNAMIC | DYNAPDIP

Description

This statement specifies whether validation of the destination of a file being created or re-routed is performed, or if the printer destination must be automatically created.

Options are as follows:

• YES—(Default) CA Spool only allows printer node names, their aliases, or JES2 or JES3 destinations to be specified as file destinations.
• NO—No validation of the file destination is performed
• DYNAMIC—Any unknown printer destination is automatically created.
• DYNAPDIP – Any unknown printer with a DEST='IP:ipaddr' destination is automatically created.

To assign attributes to these automatically created printer definitions, use DEFNODE statements. The DEFNODE with the best match between the unknown printer destination and the APDNODE parameter on the DEFNODE statement is used.

To assign default printer attributes to printers automatically added by DYNAPDIP, define a DEFNODE with APDNODE=#*.
