Setting Up User Exits › Print Banner Exit

Print Banner Exit

The print banner exit is called by the Softcopy (/P) processor at the point where either the page header or trailer separators are to be formatted. The user exit indicates whether the default separator is to be used and, if not, can provide an alternative data stream to be substituted. The exit differentiates between text to be spooled to a JES printer and text that will be sent directly to a VTAM-controlled 3270 type printer. For a VTAM printer, the exit is called once for a header and again to provide a trailer to separate this screen copy from any other subsequent print output.
