FORM) or with a user ID. If more than one name is specified, along with
modification, the order in which the names appear determines which table is
used for copy modification text.
CHars OFF
resets the CHARS parameters. Blanks are inserted into the name fields of
character sets used for output generation. The resulting spool file or files,
therefore, uses a default character set when actually printed on a 3800 printer.
LPP nnn
LPP OFF
LPP RESET
sets the lines per page value for a virtual printer or a virtual console. ’nnn’ must
be a decimal number with a range of 30 to 255.
If ’OFF’ is specified, internal default values will be used for lines per page. The
defaults are the same as those which have been used on prior releases of VM.
’RESET’ will reset the lines per page value for the virtual printer or console to
the global system value. This is also the default lines per page setting for virtual
printers and consoles when they are defined.
The global system value for LPP may be defined in the system configuration
file. If it is not defined, the default global value for the system is ’OFF’. This
causes all virtual printers and consoles to be defined with a default LPP value
of ’OFF’. See the z/VM: CP Planning and Administration for information about
the USER_DEFAULTS statement.
The lines per page value is used by VM functions which generate virtual printer
and console output. For CP, these include console spooling, CP dump and
trace output, DDR, load maps generated by HCPLDR, and SPXTAPE log files.
CMS functions which use the lines per page value for virtual printer output
include the PRINT, ASSEMBLE, UPDATE, GENMSG, TAPE, FILEPOOL
FORMAT AUDIT, and SET DOSLNCNT commands.
The lines per page value for a virtual printer is displayed in the response for
QUERY VIRTUAL PRT command (as well as other QUERY commands which
display virtual printer status).
The lines per page value for a virtual console is displayed in the response for
QUERY VIRTUAL CONS command (as well as other QUERY commands which
display virtual console status).
The lines per page value for a virtual printer or console may be obtained by
application programs by issuing DIAGNOSE X'260' subcode 08.
NAme fname ftype
NAme dsname
specifies the file name and optional file type, or the data set name that will be
given to each spool file the virtual device creates. The fname and ftype values
must be eight characters or fewer. The data set name may be up to 24
characters; however, if the name has more than 16 characters, it is truncated to
16 characters.
NOName
resets the NAME option. Blanks are inserted into the name field for spool files
the virtual device creates.
STArt
begins placing input and output from your display station into a spool file.
