|Chapter 7. Using ACIF Parameters in OS/390, MVS, VM, and
|VSE
This chapter describes ACIF syntax rules and parameters for OS/390, MVS, VM,
and VSE.
Many of the parameters specified to ACIF are the same as the parameters
specified to PSF when you print a job. For those parameters that are common to
both PSF and ACIF, you should specify the same value to ACIF as specified to
PSF.
Notes:
1. For OS/390, MVS, and VSE, you may need to consult your system programmer
for information on resource library names and other printing defaults contained
in the PSF start-up procedures used in your installation.
2. For VM/CMS, you may need to link to the appropriate disks containing the
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:
Each parameter with its associated values can span multiple records, but the
parameter and the first value must be specified in the same record. If additional
values need to be specified in the following record, a comma (,) must be
specified, following the last value in the previous record. The comma indicates
that additional values are specified in one or more of the following records.
Underscored values are the default and are used by ACIF if no other value is
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
INPUTDD═INPUT|filename(LRECL═nnnn,BLKSIZE═nnnn,RECFM═F|FB|V|VB,DEVT═TAPE|DISK)
Blank characters inserted between parameters, values, and symbols are
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
