For many XEROX printer models (9700, 8700, and so on), it may be necessary to specify different printing options using special control records that are inserted in the SYSOUT directed to the printer. These parameters are usually referred to as DJDE parameters. The way in which Control‑D supports DJDE parameters is described in the following paragraphs. For additional information, including instructions for local adaptations, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing.
A special library is used to define the DJDE parameters of each report. This library is referenced by DD statement DADJDE of the Printers Control monitor. The original name supplied is OLPREFD.DJDEPARM.
The Control‑D DJDEPARM library contains one member for each job that produces output to be printed on XEROX printers. The member name must be identical to the job name. Each member contains DJDE parameters for all reports produced by the job.
If you use option DJDEPARM for online printing, be sure your online environment (for example, IOA Online monitor, TSO Logon procedure) is referenced by DD statement DADJDE.
In each member, there must be one line in the format described in the following table for each report produced by this job:
Table 142 Format of Mandatory Line for Each Report Produced
Format |
Description |
|---|---|
++++repname |
(+++ starts in column 1) |
++++ |
Identifies the line as a report name line. |
repname |
Name or mask of the report (maximum length: 50 characters). repname must be the same as the name of the report specified in report decollating parameter DO NAME. |
One or more DJDE control parameters records may follow the ++++repname line.
Any number of ++++repname lines can be present in one member (that is, several reports can be produced by the same job).
For example, consider the following report decollating mission parameters:
JOBNAME=ARINS1 |
DO NAME=AR‑REPORT‑1 |
DO NAME=AR‑REPORT‑2 |
Member ARINS1 in the Control‑D APAPARM library can contain the following:
++++AR‑REPORT‑1 |
IMM=GROUP1 |
IDM=PAGFM1 |
++++AR‑REPORT‑2 |
IMM=GROUP2 |
When Control‑D prints the report named ar‑report‑1, the two lines following the ++++ line are written at the beginning of the report.
When Control‑D prints the report named ar‑report‑2, the last line in the member is written to the report.
Sample member APAPARMS is located in the Control‑D APAPARM library.
Not every job has special AFP control parameters. The library must contain only members for jobs with in‑stream AFP control parameters and not for other jobs.
When the Printers Control monitor or a batch printing mission is about to print a report for a user on an AFP printer, it searches for a member name with the same name as the job that produced the report. It looks for the report name in the member, translates any IMM/IDM commands to hexadecimal, and writes all the report’s AFP control parameters to the printer (through the spool). AFP printers must be defined as APA in member CTDPARM in the IOA PARM library. For more information, see the Control‑D chapter in the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing.
