Understanding and using the MVS Download destination control file
The MVS Download Destination Control File (DCF) is a flat text file that consists of Control Statements, blank lines, and comments. Each line has a maximum length of 1023 bytes. Tabs are treated as blank spaces.
Note: If you change the DCF, the changes will not become active until
you stop and restart the receivers that use that DCF.
The DCF maps the MVS keywords
and parameters it receives from the host to the pdpr–x and –p attributes and parameters.
The supplied MVS Download Exit uses pdpr to submit jobs to the
target destination. To modify any of the other pdpr options, you must change the Exit Routine.
The sample DCF that comes with InfoPrint Manager is set to perform the mappings listed in Mappings in the Sample DCF.
Note: This table
only lists the Mapping statements in the sample DCF. It does not reflect
the Default statements and Global statements that are set.
