Parameters

PRINTDEF: The $HASP833 message displays the current JES2 print environment characteristics.
CCWNUM: Specifies the maximum number (1-233) of channel command words (CCWs) to be used per channel program area for local impact printers.
DBLBUFR: Specifies whether double buffering is to be used for local printers.
FCB: Specifies the name of the forms control buffer (FCB) image or the carriage control tape that JES2 initially assumes is mounted on every impact printer.
LINECT: Specifies the maximum number (1-254) of lines to be printed per page on job output.
NEWPAGE: Specifies how to "skip to channel" is counted as a new page.
NIFCB: Specifies the name of both the forms control buffer image that JES initially loads into every non-impact printer and the installation's default FCB for data sets that do not explicitly request an FCB when printed on a non-impact printer.
NIFLASH: Specifies the 1 to 4 character name of the initial and default forms flash ID.
NIUCS: Specifies the name of both the character arrangement table that JES2 initially loads into every 3800 printer and the installation's default character arrangement table that is loaded into the printer for data sets that do not specify a character arrangement table.
RDBLBUFR: Specifies whether double (Yes) or single (No) buffering is to be used for remote printers.
SEPPAGE[=LOCAL|REMOTE]: Specifies the type of separator page JES2 produces on local and remote printers.
TRANS: Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) character translation is to be used for local and remote printers.
UCS: Specifies the name of the print chain, print train, or print band default character set that is mounted on every impact printer for which a specific universal character set (UCS) image is not specified.

Authority Required

This command requires display authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires read security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Scope

The scope of some commands varies by parameter.

Some parameters on certain commands will display information about the entire MAS, while other parameters will display information about this member only.

For those commands that are single member scope, or have some parameters that are single member scope, you might want to use the parameters for that command to get information about all members of the MAS. If so, you can use the MVS ROUTE *ALL command to issue that command to all active members (if the JES2 command character is the same on all members). See z/OS MVS System Commands, SA38-0666 for more information on using the ROUTE *ALL command.

Messages

The $HASP833 message is issued in response to this command. list the resulting messages.

Example

 1   $d printdef

  $HASP833 PRINTDEF  CCWNUM=49,LINECT=60,NEWPAGE=ALL,NIFCB=STD3,
  $HASP833           NIFLASH=****,NIUCS=GT10,FCB=6,TRANS=NO,UCS=0,
  $HASP833           DBLBUFR=YES,RDBLBUFR=NO,SEPPAGE=(LOCAL=HALF,
  $HASP833           REMOTE=HALF)

The $HASP833 message indicates print characteristics.
