Description

The LPDFILE statement can be used to identify a specific print request based on the printer queue name, origin host, requestor's user ID and source file name, and to assign specific report identification attributes for use by a report management product.

LPDFILE Parameters

This section describes the LPDFILE parameters:

QDEST= cccccccc | cccc*

This parameter specifies the exact target printer queue name cccccccc or a generic printer queue name cccc* for which this LPDFILE parameter set is used.

When a print request is received, the best matching LPDDEST/LPDFILE parameter set is used. Best match on QDEST takes precedence over match on QHOST, QUSERID, and QNAME. There is no default value.

QHOST= cccccccc | cccc*

This parameter specifies the exact origin host name cccccccc or a generic origin host name cccc* for which this LPDFILE parameter set is used.

When a print request is received, the best matching LPDDEST/LPDFILE parameter set is used. A match on QDEST takes precedence over a match on QHOST.

There is no default value.

QUSERID= cccccccc | cccc*

This parameter specifies an exact requestor's user ID name cccccccc or a generic user ID name cccc* for which this LPDFILE parameter set is used.

When a print request is received, the best matching LPDDEST/LPDFILE parameter set is used. A match on QDEST takes precedence over a match on QHOST, which takes precedence over a match on QUSERID.

There is no default value.

QNAME= cccccccc | cccc*

This parameter specifies exact source file name cccccccc or a generic source file name cccc* for which this LPDFILE parameter set is used.

When a print request is received, the best matching LPDDEST/LPDFILE parameter set is used. A match on QDEST takes precedence over a match on QHOST, which takes precedence over a match on QUSERID, which takes precedence over a match on QNAME.

There is no default value.

FNAME= &xnol | cccccccc

This parameter specifies the output file name for incoming print requests. The file name must be a 1-to 12-character alphanumeric string. For JES and ESF output files, only the first eight characters are being used.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the file name.
• cccccccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific output file name.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FUSERID= &xnol | cccccccc

This parameter specifies the user ID for incoming print requests; the user ID must be a 1-to 8-character alphanumeric string.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the user ID.
• cccccccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific user ID.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FCLASS= &xnol | c

This parameter specifies the output class to be used for incoming print requests.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the output class.
• c—This syntax can be used to assign a specific output class.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FDEST= &xnol | cccccccc

This parameter specifies the output file destination name for incoming print requests; the destination name must be a 1-to 8-character alphanumeric string.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the destination name.
• cccccccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific destination name.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FDDNM= &xnol | cccccccc

This parameter specifies the output DDname for incoming print requests; the DDname must be a 1-to 8-character alphanumeric string. This parameter can be used to pass a unique file name to JES using the DDname parameter.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the output DDname.
• cccccccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific output DDname.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FFORM= &xnol | cccccccc

This parameter specifies the output file form-name for incoming print requests. The form-name must be a 1-to 8-character alphanumeric string. Note that for JES output files, only the first four characters of the form-name are used.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the form-name.
• cccccccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific form-name.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FWRITER= &xnol | cccccccc

This parameter specifies the output writer name for incoming print requests; the writer name must be a 1-to 8-character alphanumeric string. This parameter can be used to pass a unique file name to JES through the writer parameter.

Valid values are:

• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the output writer name.
• cccccccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific output writer name.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FHEADER= nnnn | cccccccc

This parameter specifies where the data header line &D in the first received data buffer starts. The data header can be used for dynamic extracting of file attributes from the data file.

Valid values are:

• nnnn—This syntax specifies the data header line offset. If a numeric value (nnnn) is specified, the search for the data header line begins at offset nnnn into the first data buffer.
• cccccccc—This syntax specifies the search string within the first data buffer. The data header line starts after the first occurrence of the search string. If the search string is not found, the data header line starts at offset 0.

The default value is taken from LPDSERV.

FFIEXT= &N9 | &xnol | ccc

This parameter specifies the file extension for incoming print requests. Valid values are:

• &N9—Use last source file name word as file extension.
• &xnol—This syntax can be used to select a given part of any control file line as the default file extension.
• ccc—This syntax can be used to assign a specific file extension.

The default is taken from LPDSERV.

FVALEXT= EXT1/…/EXTn

This parameter specifies the file extensions that the LPD Interface accepts. Valid file extensions must be separated with '/', and the parameter length cannot exceed 60 characters. If an invalid file extension is received, the print request is cancelled.

The default is taken from LPDSERV.

FINVEXT= EXT1/…/EXTn

This parameter specifies the file extensions that the LPD Interface rejects. Invalid file extensions must be separated with '/', and the parameter length cannot exceed 60 characters. If an invalid file extension is received, the print request is cancelled.

The default is taken from LPDSERV.
