Figure 21. Sample VM CMS Commands to Invoke ACIF
Note: The usage of DD in these statements reflects the same naming convention
of ACIF used in OS/390 and MVS.
Explaining the VM CMS Commands
The CMS commands in Figure 21 are explained as follows. For more information
about programming CMS commands, refer to
Print Services Facility/VM: Application
Programming Guide
.
USERAPPL
Invokes the application that produces the actual print output.
INPUT
Defines the DDname for the print file to be processed by ACIF. In the sample
in Figure 21, this is the same print file that is created by USERAPPL.
OUTPUT
Defines the DDname for the file that ACIF creates as a result of processing the
application's print file.
RESOBJ
Defines the DDname for the resource file that ACIF creates as a result of
processing the application's print file. This command is not required if
RESTYPE=NONE is specified in the processing parameter file.
INDEX
Defines the DDname for the index object file that ACIF creates as a result of
processing the application's print file.
This parameter is not required unless indexing is requested or unless the print
file contains indexing structured fields. If you are not sure whether the print file
contains indexing structured fields, and you do not want an index object file
created, specify FILEDEF INDEXDD DUMMY; no index object file will be
created.
TRACE
Defines the default DDname for the trace file. This file is not created unless
TRACE=YES is specified in the processing parameter file.
APKACIF
Invokes the ACIF program to process the application's print file. You can
specify two optional input parameters to ACIF: PARMDD and MSGDD.
