External Writer Name

If the file being transferred has an external writer name defined to CA Spool, it becomes the file destination.

If the external writer name is blank and the JES destination of the file is known to CA Spool, this will become the file destination. This is especially of interest for installations that previously have used other remote printing products, and therefore already have their VTAM-attached printers defined to JES.

If neither the external writer name, nor the JES destination contains a valid CA Spool destination, the file destination will be set to $$NODEST.
