/P sessid prtrid (class)

Prints the screen from a specified session to a printer. The sessid specifies the session whose screen is to be printed. The prtrid specifies a network-attached printer, a mnemonic printer name defined in the print destination table, or a JES sysout destination. You can specify an optional print class.

/P sessid LOG

/P sessid FILE

Allocates a data set whose name is in the form userid.tpxjobname.TPXPRINT.Dyyddd.Thhmmssd, and prints the current screen image from a specified session to it.

/P FILE

Writes the screen from your current session to a data set. The data set name is: userid.tpxjobname.TPXPRINT.Dyyddd.Thhmmssd where userid is the TPX userid. If available, termid is the TPX terminal ID. If unable to determine the userid, jobname is either the z/OS batch job name or STC name.

The screen is sent to either the specified printer or the Log.
