ICATALOG command

Use the ICATALOG command to specify the ink catalog to be used on highlight and full color printers.

The ink catalog is a file that contains color information. It resides on highlight color printers and in the XPRM database. You can list all the ink catalogs stored in your XPRM database by using the LIST COLORMAP command. Refer to the ªResource managementº chapter in the XPRM/HFDL 3.2 for IBM MVS Managing Resources manual.

Full color printers require the ink catalog name. If you do not specify a catalog for a highlight color printer, the printer uses its default catalog.
