Using MVS Download

MVS Download is an optional feature of PSF for OS/390 that uses TCP/IP to automatically send data sets from the JES spool, without formatting them, directly to InfoPrint Manager for AIX 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 MVS Download, do one of these:

  • Specify a mapping from a JCL keyword to a finishing attribute in the Windows destination control file. The selected JCL parameter you specify in OS/390 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 OS/390 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.
