Using Specified OUTPUT Statement

You can specify a name of an OUTPUT statement containing the FORMDEF/PAGEDEF combination. When writing directly to a CDAM file, use the CDAM parameter OUTPUT. When you decollate a report from spool, you must specify the requested OUTPUT statement in the PRINT/CDAM PARMS field. OUTPUT specified in the PRINT/CDAM PARMS field also overrides any such parameter specified during CDAM file creation (in the DD statement).

Note: The name of the OUTPUT statement used is the name under the Printers Control monitor and not the name of the OUTPUT statement in the job.

During the printing process, Control-V looks for the specified OUTPUT statement and uses it to print the report.

With this method, an OUTPUT statement must exist for every combination of FORMDEF/PAGEDEF which is in use and it must exist under all printing environments (the Printers Control monitor, the IOA monitor, the TSO user, and so on). For site adaptations required for AFP support, see "AFP Support" in the Control-D chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.

This method is recommended for sites that use a small number of combinations of PAGEDEF and FORMDEF parameters.
