Specifying LPD server parameters
The system parameters required by the LPD server are passed
by the PARM option on the EXEC statement of the LPD cataloged procedure.
Update the following parameters as required.
- LPDDATA=‘data_set_name’
- Specifies the fully qualified name of the data set containing
the LPD configuration statements.
Guideline: This data set can be sequential or a member of a PDS.
- LPDPRFX=‘PREFIX your_prefix’
- Specifies the high-level qualifier to be used for temporary data sets created by the LPD server. Include both the PREFIX keyword and your qualifier in the quoted string. The qualifier can be up to 26 characters. If it is blank, it defaults to the procedure name. The LPD task requires the authority to create and modify data sets with this prefix.
- DIAG=‘options’
- Specifies any of the following diagnostic options in a quoted
string of keywords separated by blanks. For example, DIAG='VERSION
TRACE'
- VERSION
- Displays the version number.
- TYPE
- Activates high-level trace facility in the LPD server. Significant events, such as the receipt of a job for printing, are recorded in the //SYSOUT DD data set specified in your LPD server cataloged procedure.
- TRACE
- Causes a detailed trace of activities within the LPD server to
record in the //SYSOUT DD data set specified in your LPD server cataloged
procedure.
Tip: The detailed tracing can also be activated with the DEBUG statement in the LPD server configuration data set and with the TRACE command of the SMSG interface.
Restriction: The JCL PARM= statement has a limit of 100 characters.
