One-Chunk Method

Using this method, the entire bundle is sent to the spool for printing at one time. This method is activated by specifying CHUNKSIZE=0 in the printing mission definition. If not specified in the printing mission definition, CHUNKSIZE defaults to the value defined in installation parameter PRINTER. Specifying CHUNKSIZE=0 suppresses installation parameter OUTGRP.

This method can be used for printing reports that contain identical printing characteristics. If reports that contain different printing characteristics are processed in this manner, the characteristics of the first report are used for all the reports in the bundle.

If the bundle contains reports for different printing destinations, a separate chunk is created for each destination but Control‑D does not monitor the printing of the chunk. Control‑D continues to send additional chunks of the bundle to the spool.
