Using Download for z/OS

Download for z/OS is an optional feature of PSF for z/OS that uses TCP/IP to automatically send data sets from the JES spool, without formatting them, directly to InfoPrint Manager for AIX, InfoPrint Manager for Linux or InfoPrint Manager for Windows. InfoPrint Manager receives the data sets into files, formats them, and sends them to the printer. When you submit a print job with Download for z/OS, do one of these:

  • Specify a mapping from a JCL keyword to a finishing attribute in the Linux shell script. The selected JCL parameter you specify in z/OS maps to the InfoPrint Manager pdpr finishing attribute.
  • Use the existing form definition JCL keyword to form definition attribute mapping. The JCL FORMDEF parameter you specify in z/OS maps to the InfoPrint Manager pdpr form definition attribute.
  • Specify a default form definition or finishing attribute so all jobs have the same finishing option.
