User Passthrough Printing

Many installations use the IMS LTERM name to either algorithmically determine the name of a printer or to use a printer lookup table.

With User Passthrough Printing, a virtual printer can be associated with a virtual terminal, and the User Passthrough Printer Table Mask can be used to associate the virtual printer to a user. CA TPX uses the printer name supplied in the user definition or Terminal Options Table to determine which physical printer to use to complete the print operation.

If you use a compiled table, the table can be accessed from the Printer Selection exit.
