Attachment File Field Definitions
The following field definitions detail the attachment type fields, formats for the field values,
and practical examples of field values.
description Specifies the description string that appears on the SMIT
Attachment type menu. The SMIT Attachment type menu lists all
supported attachment types on the system. This field is required in
order for the attachment type to appear on any list of supported
types.
The format of the description field value is:
Message_catalog,Set,Message_#; DefaultTextString
Values for Message_catalog, Set, and Message_# are not
required. For example, the two following example entries create
the same menu item in SMIT. The first example uses the
term_serv.cat message catalog, set number 1, and message
number 3. If the message cannot be found, SMIT uses the default
text in quotes. In the second example, no message catalog is
designated, and the quoted message is used in the menu
automatically:
description = term_serv.cat,1,3; Printer Attached to
Terminal Server
description = Printer Attached to Terminal Server
seq_num Specifies the order in which a particular attachment type is
displayed in the SMIT Attachment Type Selector menu. If this field
is missing, the attachments are displayed in no particular order.
For example, to display the attachment in the second position on
the menu, enter:
seq_num = 2
supported/
unsupported
Define a list of printer types that are either supported or not
supported by the attachment. The supported field value is used
to generate the list of printers supported by the attachment type on
the SMIT dialog screen. The two fields are mutually exclusive.
The format of the value for the supported and unsupported fields is
a comma–separated list of printer types. For example, to exclude
the ibm6252, ibm6262, and ibm4029 printers from the list of
supported printers, enter:
unsupported = ibm6252, ibm6262, ibm4029
To show the hplj–3, hplj–3–si, and hplj–2 printers on the
list of available printer types, enter:
supported = hplj–3, hplj–3–si, hplj–2
submit_job Specifies the name of the SMIT selector ID to branch to in order to
start a print job. If this field is missing, the enq dialog value is used.
For example, to branch to the term_ser_start_job selector
from the Start a Print Job menu option if the queue selected is of
the term_serv attachment type, enter:
submit_job = term_serv_start_job
add_queue Specifies the name of the SMIT selector ID to branch to in order to
add a print queue. For example, to branch to the term_serv_add
selector ID from the Add a Print Queue menu option, enter:
add_queue = term_serv_add
