ESFPRINT

The ESFPRINT utility is a general purpose print program that functionally replaces IBM's DSPRINT, PRINTDS, and PRINTOFF TSO commands.

As input, ESFPRINT is able to process:

• One or more sequential data sets or members of partitioned data sets
• One or more partitioned data sets
• VSAM data set

The resulting output file can be placed in CA Spool, in the JES spool, or at a connected NJE node.

The ESFPRINT utility can execute as any of the following:

• TSO command processor
• TSO CALL program
• Batch program

The program automatically determines the environment under which it executes (TSO, Batch) and requires no action from the user.
