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, type:
seq_num = 2
supported/unsu
pported
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, type:
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, type:
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, type:
add_queue = term_serv_add
