5 PSF/MVS AFP Printing Using TCP/IP

This chapter provides information on how to create MVS definitions for printing

from PSF/MVS via TCP/IP. The following topics are addressed:

JES printer statements

PSF Startup procedure

Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP installation of

the PrintServer (equipped with an IPDS DIMM) has been completed, direct AFP /

IPDS from PSF / MVS will be possible.

Requirements:

• PSF/MVS version 2 Release 2.0 with APAR OW15599.

• MVS Scheduler APAR OW12236 which supports the PRINTDEV IPADDR and

PORTNO keywords.

• IBM TCP/IP Version 3 Release 1, or higher, installed and configured on

MVS.

Co-requisite supported TCP/IP controller is also required (e.g. IBM 3172).

MTU size:

• The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the IP packet for the MVS

system is recommended to be set up to 2000.

Note: The MTU size should not exceed the maximum size sent through the

control unit. Failure may lead to transmission problems.

Sample PSF/MVS JES2 initialisation statements

FSSDEF(FSS1)PROC=PSF4,HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM

PRT420 FSS=FSS1,MODE=FSS,PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE),

CLASS=A,UCS=0,SEP,NOSEPDS,CKPTPAGE=100,DRAIN,WS=(R,Q/FCB)

Example of PSF/MVS JES2 printer definition

//PSF4 PROC

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=APSPPIEP,REGION=1750K

//JOBHDR OUTPUT PAGEDEF=V06483, /* JOB SEPARATOR PAGEDEF

// FORMDEF=A10110,CHARS=GT15 /* JOB SEPARATOR FORMDEF

//JOBTLR OUTPUT PAGEDEF=V06483, /* JOB SEPARATOR PAGEDEF
