AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual Section 5: Setting Up - IBM Mainframe

PRTnnnn Statement:

A PRTnnnn statement, which is required to define each printer

nnnn statement FSA, is associated with an FSS statement. Each

printer FSA should have a unique PRTnnnn name that must match

the label on the CNTL, ENDCNTL, and PRINTDEV statements for

the PSF startup procedure specified in the PROC parameter.

Note:

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:

The label on the PRINTDEV statement must be 8 characters or fewer. PSF

accepts the PRTnnnn, PRINTnn, and PRINTERn formats.

PRTnnnn

is the recommended format.

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 5470e/570/670e 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.
