ESFPRINT Utility › Executing ESFPRINT › Executing ESFPRINT as a Batch Program › Examples

Examples

This is an example of ESFPRINT in a batch environment:

//EXEC PGM=ESFPRINT,
//  PARM='DSNAME(dsn) DEST(DEPTPRT1)'

This is an example of printing two data sets using the SYSIN option:

//EXEC PGM=ESFPRINT,PARM='SYSIN'
//SYSIN DD *
DSNAME(dsn1 dsn2) DEST(DEPTPRT1)
/*

Note: Each print request is not allowed to span more than 12 SYSIN records.

SPL--Executing ESFPRINT Using the ESFPISPF ISPF Panel Interface

You can use the following techniques to invoke ESFPRINT using an ISPF panel:

• Add a selection option to the primary panel, by entering the following command:

   P,'PGM(ESFPISPF) NEWAPPL(ESFP)'
  

  This technique requires that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • Add the ESFPMENU panel to the ISPPLIB concatenation.
  • Add the ESFPISPF program to the ISPLLIB concatenation, TSO logon proc steplib, or linklist.
• Type ESFP from ISPF option 6.

  This technique requires that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • Verify that ESFPRINT is available in the TSO logon, the proc steplib, or the linklist.
  • Verify that the ESFPMENU panel is available through the ISPPLIB allocation.
