Using

ACIF

in

OS/390, MVS, VM, and VSE

 

 

This chapter

describes how to invoke ACIF in the OS/390, MVS, VM, and

 

 

environments.

MVS Environments

Figure 20 contains sample JCL to invoke ACIF to process print output fr application.

Explaining the JCL Statements

The JCL statements in Figure 20 are explained as follows. For more inf about programming JCL, referOS/390 toMVS JCL Reference.

USERAPPL

Represents the job step to run the application that produces the

output.USERAPPL oruser applications the name of the program that produces the print data set.

PRINTOUT

The DD statement that defines the output data set produced fro application. The application output cannot be spooled to the Job

Subsystem (JES),

because

ACIF

does

not read

data fromprint the spool.
