Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe (zSeries) AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e User’s Manual

The PRTnnnn parameters create JES2 default values that are used

unless other values are specified in the application program JCL. The

PRTnnnn statement contains the following parameters:

PRTnnnn Statement Explanation

CKPTPAGE

Specifies the number of pages between data-set checkpoints. If checkpoint intervals are too frequent, printer

performance is significantly reduced. If intervals are too infrequent, and a PSF error occurs, the job has to be

reprocessed from the last checkpoint. In this case, printer performance is significantly reduced if PSF errors

continue to occur. The recommended starting value is 100.

CLASS

Specifies the output classes processed by the printer. By defining print classes you can handle disabled

mechanisms.

FSS

Specifies the FSS for this device and must match the FSA name specified in the corresponding FSS statement.

This parameter is required.

MARK

Enables form markings to be placed on the job trailer pages. For the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e you should set

this parameter to NO.

Note: This parameter is new in JES2 and replaces the MARK | NOMARK parameter.

MODE

Specifies that the printer is managed by an FSS. This parameter is required.
