Directing IPCS output

Depending on which message routing parameters are in effect (PRINT, NOPRINT, PDS, NOPDS, TERMINAL, NOTERMINAL) and depending in which mode (full-screen, line, batch) you are using IPCS, the output can be directed to different mediums. Note that certain non-report type messages are always routed to the terminal or the SYSTSPRT data set.

Table 1 provides a summary of the output destination possibilities.

Table 1. Destination of IPCS Output
Message routing parameters	Using IPCS in line or full-screen mode, the output is directed to:	Using IPCS in batch mode, the output is directed to:
PRINT, PDS, and TERMINAL	IPCSPRNT data set, IPCSPDS data set, and Terminal	IPCSPRNT, IPCSPDS, and SYSTSPRT data sets
PRINT, PDS, and NOTERMINAL	IPCSPRNT and IPCSPDS data sets	IPCSPRNT and IPCSPDS data sets
PRINT, NOPDS, and TERMINAL	IPCSPRNT data set and Terminal	IPCSPRNT and SYSTSPRT data sets
PRINT, NOPDS, and NOTERMINAL	IPCSPRNT data set	IPCSPRNT data set
NOPRINT, PDS, and TERMINAL	IPCSPDS data set and Terminal	IPCSPDS and SYSTSPRT data sets
NOPRINT, PDS, and NOTERMINAL	IPCSPDS data set	IPCSPDS data set
NOPRINT, NOPDS, and TERMINAL	Terminal	SYSTSPRT data set
NOPRINT, NOPDS, and NOTERMINAL	Terminal	SYSTSPRT data set

Note: Unless a different ddname is used on the OPEN subcommand, IPCS associates PRINT with the IPCSPRNT data set.
