DEVICE Statement:
A DEVICE statement is required for each printer. The DEVICE
parameters create JES3 default values that are used unless other values
are specified in the JCL application program. The DEVICE
statement can contain the following parameters:
Device Statement Explanation
CARRIAGE
Specifies the JES default page definition.
The value
YES specifies that the page definition can be changed
during startup procedures.
The value
NO specifies that the page definition cannot be changed
during startup procedures.
The value
aaaa specifies that the un-prefixed name, 1 to 4 characters
long, of the page definition is to be used as default. The name specified
here, or the JES3 system default, is the PSF default page definition.
CHARS Specifies a default JES3 font.
CKPNTPG
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.
DTYPE
Identifies the printer device type. For the AXIS 5470e/570/670e you
should specify the parameter value
PRTAFP1. This parameter is
required.
FSSNAME
Specifies a unique FSS for this printer DEVICE statement. The value
must match the value coded for the FSSNAME parameter in the
corresponding FSSDEF statement.
HEADER
Specifies if job and data set header pages are printed. If DPF is
installed, you may need to specify HEADER=YES.
JNAME
Specifies the name of the printer FSA. Each printer FSA should have a
unique JNAME. This unique JNAME is 8 characters or fewer and must
correspond to its label on the
CNTL, ENDCNTL, and PRINTDEV
statements for the PSF startup procedure specified in the
PNAME
parameter. This parameter is required.
