Using the CAIPRINT Repository Viewer › Repository Viewer Commands › PRINT › Parameters

Parameters

The PRINT command prompts you for input parameters using the Print Options pop-up window with the following fields:

Printer

Lets you specify the destination to which the printed output should be routed. This can be specified as a printer name, node.userid, or blank to spool the printed output to your TSO userid.

Dsname

Lets you specify the name of a data set to which the printed output is written. If this field is non-blank, it overrides the Printer field. When entering a data set name, it must be fully qualified and enclosed in single quotation marks. Otherwise, your ZPREFIX value is used as the high-level qualifier.

Member

Lets you specify the member name if you are printing the listing to a partitioned data set.

Disposition

Lets you specify the disposition of the data set to which the output should be printed. This field is relevant only if printing to a data set. If the value is NEW or MOD, a second window pops up to request allocation parameters.

Values: SHR, OLD, NEW, and MOD

Title

Lets you specify the 1- to 32-character title that appears at the top each page.

Print Lines

Lets you specify the starting and ending lines to be printed. By default the starting line is set to one and the ending line is set to the number of lines in the report.

Copies

Lets you specify the number of copies to be printed.

Class

Lets you specify the sysout class that will be used to allocate the print output data set.

Lines / Page

Lets you specify the number of logical lines per page, including the title and header lines.

Record Size

Lets you specify the logical record length that will be used for the print data set. By default this is the maximum width of the data being printed. You can increase or decrease this value to fit your printer as needed. Decreasing the record size may result in truncation of data.

PageDef

Lets you specify the name of the library member that PSF uses to define the page layout for printing on a 3800 Printing Subsystem Model 3.

FormDef

Lets you specify the name of the library member that PSF uses to define the form layout for printing on a 3800 Printing Subsystem Model 3.

Chars

Lets you specify the name of the character arrangement tables for printing on a 3800 Printing Subsystem Model 3.

Using a Disposition of New or MOD

Lets you specify the disposition to be used. When a disposition of NEW or MOD is used, a second pop-up panel is displayed.

Modify the following values and press Enter to allocate the file and print, or press End to cancel the request.

Space

Lets you specify the space unit for allocating the data set.  Type TRK to allocate in tracks, CYL to allocate in cylinders, or BLK to allocate in blocks.

Primary

Lets you specify the primary space quantity.  Type a number from 1 to 999.

Secondary

Lets you specify the secondary space quantity.  Type a number from 0 to 999.

Directory

Lets you specify the number of blocks to be contained in the directory of the partitioned data set.  If no member was specified when the data set was entered, this field is not updatable.

Dataclas

Lets you specify the data class of an SMS-managed data set.

StorClas

Lets you specify the storage class of an SMS-managed data set.

MgmtClas

Lets you specify the management class of an SMS-managed data set.

Blkize

Lets you specify the block size of the data set.

LRecl

Lets you specify the logical record length of the data set.  This field is not updatable. 

Unit

Lets you specify the Unit specification of the data set.

Volser

Lets you specify the volume serial on which the data set will reside. If creating a new data set using DISP=MOD, this field must be left blank.

Usage Notes:

• When one or more fields are changed before pressing Enter, the fields are validated and redisplayed along with the message Press Enter to Print. To continue, press Enter one more time.
• At the top of each printed page, the page header appears. The header contains your specified title, centered on the line, and the page number at the far right.
• On the first page only, following the header line, the information area is printed with double-space carriage control.
• On every page, the contents of the panel header line is printed next, also with double-space carriage control. This may consist of column headings for a member list, report index or report tree display, or a ruler for listings and abend report contents.
