Privilege Class: G
Use SET PFnn COPY to copy your display screen to a printer.
SET PFnn COPY
PFnn
identifies the program function key to perform the COPY function for your 3270
or 3290 display.
rdev
ldev
The operand rdev represents the real device number of the display printer to be
used; ldev is the logical device number of the logical display printer to be used.
luname
identifies a printer controlled by the same VTAM service machine that controls
the display whose screen is being copied. It is the name from the VTAM
definition of the printer as an SNA logical unit. If the luname is omitted, it is
assumed that the associated control unit supports the local copy function.
netname.luname
identifies the network qualified logical unit to be used as the copy device.
1. If your keyboard has 24 PF keys, specify the PF key number, nn, as a value
from 1 (or 01) to 24. If your keyboard has only 12 PF keys, specify nn as a
value from 1 (or 01) to 12. When you press the PF key, the COPY function
produces a printed output of the entire 3270 or 3290 display screen except for
the status field, which is replaced by blanks.
2. After you press the PF key, you receive a NOT ACCEPTED message in the
status field of your display if any of the following situations occur:
v The printer is already busy
v The printer is turned off
v The printer is operational but has not been varied online or enabled by the
system operator
v The printer is out of paper or is in any other condition that requires
intervention
v The designated device is not a 3286/3287/3288/3289 printer
v The SET PFnn COPY command format is not valid.
