Parameter DEST

Parameter DEST can be used to specify a remote printer destination. For further details, see the discussion about specifying report destinations in the implementation hints chapter of the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

Printer Assignment

If you use the Multi-Chunk Method, allocate the printer solely for Control-D use. This is achieved by specifying a unique destination id for each mainframe printer. When you want to print Control-D bundles using the chunking mechanism, you must assign the printer for Control-D use. This is achieved by issuing a JES operator command specifying the Control-D destination code.

Sample JES2 Command

$TPRT2,S=N,R=U1002,Q=ABCD,SEPDS=N

Sample JES3 Command

*X WTR OUT=U1002,H=N,B=N,WC=Q

*S U1002

Using the One-Chunk Method, you do not have to assign the printer specifically for Control-D use. Instead, the entire print bundle will be sent to spool and will wait along with your other output to be printed as usual.
