Chapter 7. Using ACIF

Parameters

in

OS/390, MVS,

VM,

and

 

 

 

VSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This

chapter

describes ACIF

syntax rules

and

parameters

for

OS/390,

M

and

VSE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many of the parameters specified to ACIF are the same as the par

specified to PSF when

you print a job. For those parameters

that

a

both

PSF

and

ACIF,

you

should

specify

the

same value to

ACIF

as spe

PSF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. For

OS/390,

MVS,

and

VSE,

you

may

need

to consult your system progr

 

for

information

on resource library

names

and

other

printing

default

 

in the

PSF

start-up

procedures

used

in

your

installation.

 

 

2. For

VM/CMS,

you

may need to link to

the

appropriate

disks

containing

 

resource files

used to

convert

and

print

your job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Syntax Rules for OS/390,

MVS,

VM,

and

VSE

Parameters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following are general syntax rules for parameter files:

ŸEach parameter with its associated values can span multiple record parameter and the first value must be specified in the same re values need to be specified in the following record, a comma (,) specified, following the last value in the previous record. The co that additional values are specified in one or more of the follo Underscored values are the default and are used by ACIF if no specified.

OS/390 and MVS

 

FDEFLIB=TEMP.USERLIB,PROD.LIBRARY,

OLD.PROD.LIBRARY

/\ These are the FORMDEF libraries.

 

VM

 

 

FDEFLIB=FDEF38PP,

 

 

TEMPFDEF

/\ These are the FORMDEF libraries.

 

VSE

 

INPUTDDŠINPUTfilename(LRECLŠnnnn,BLKSIZEŠnnnn,RECFMŠFFBVVB,DEVTŠTAPEDISK)

ŸBlank characters inserted between parameters, values, and symbols a allowed and ignored. For example, specifying:

FORMDEF

=

F1TEMP

 

PAGEDEF

=

P1PROD

 

INDEX1 =

FIELD1 , FIELD2 ,

FIELD3

Is equivalent to specifying:

FORMDEF=F1TEMP

PAGEDEF=P1PROD

INDEX1=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3
