You use Print Destination Tables to associate a group of physical printers at your site to a single virtual printer or mnemonic printer name. When a user requests output using the /P command, CA TPX determines which printer the user selected. If the user has specified one of the mnemonic printer names defined in the Print Destination Table, the software sends the output to the first physical printer or JES destination listed for that mnemonic printer name. If this destination is not available, the software usually does not send the output to any other destination.
You can also use the Print Destination Table to associate a group of physical printers with a single virtual printer. This process is called Application Passthrough Printer Support. When the software receives output for a virtual printer, it attempts to send the output to the first available physical printer in the print destination list for that virtual printer. If the characteristics of the first available physical printer are not acceptable for the request, the software goes to the next physical printer in the list.
You define virtual printers in the VTAMLST member with the *TPX,APPLPPS comment (see the Installation Guide).
