One-Chunk Method

The entire bundle is sent to the spool for printing at one time. This method is activated by setting CHUNKSIZE in the printing mission definition to 0. If it is not specified in the printing mission definition, CHUNKSIZE defaults to the value that was defined during the installation process (in the PRINTER parameter of member CTDPARM in the IOA PARM library).

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

When using the CDAM PAGEDEF and/or FORMDEF printing parameters, the PAGEDEF and/or FORMDEF are added in-line prior to the data, so in this case, setting CHUNKSIZE to 0 is not valid.
