The Control-D OUTPARM option (also known as "Control-D Global Control of the Printing Characteristics") allows overriding of default printing characteristics (specified at time of decollating) for all (or some) of the reports to be printed by Control-D. In addition to the printing characteristics supported by the JCL OUTPUT statement (such as TRC, PRMODE, and so on), the following printing characteristics can also be controlled:

The Control-D OUTPARMS library is used with this option. Each member in this library refers to a job name (for example, the member name is the job name), or each member refers to a user id (for example, the member name is the recipient name). Note that all member names must refer either to job names or to user ids – the two cannot be mixed. This is defined in the CTDX003 member in the SAMPEXIT library – the OUTPARM parameter. For instructions on activating this option, see the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
An OUTPARM member contains the printing characteristics that are used for the reports.
The OUTPARM option can also be used for banners (deferred printing and immediate printing). For additional details, see Printing Banners.
Any reports that are not specified in the OUTPARMS library are printed with the default characteristics that were specified in the decollating mission or in the JCL parameters.
The OUTPARM option is usually used:
