Configuring PSF for z/OS to Print IPDS Files

 

 

 

 

 

 

Define the Communications Control Unit to z/OS

If you have not already done so, define the communications control unit for the z/OS host, such as the 3172 or the 3745 control unit, to z/OS. Use either an z/OS configuration program (MVSCP) or a hardware configuration definition (HCD), depending on the version of your z/OS system:

•When using a version earlier than z/OS 4.1.0, use an MVSCP.

•When using a version of z/OS 4.1.0 or later, use an HCD or an

MVSCP.

For more information about using these methods, refer to:

Modify the TCP/IP Profile in z/OS

The TCP/IP profile contains system configuration statements used to initialize the TCP/IP address space. Of those statements, the following are subject to special considerations when you are printing from PSF on TCP/IP-attached printers. Samples of these statements are printed in bold in the example shown in Figure 24.
