Explaining the VSE JCL Statements
The statements in Figure 22 on page 84 are explained as follows. For more
information about programming JCL for VSE, refer to
Print Services Facility/VSE:
Application Programming Guide
.
PRNTOUT
Defines the output file produced from the application. The application output
cannot be spooled to POWER, because ACIF does not read data from the
spool. The
user print file
is the name of the print data set created by your
application.
USERAPPL
Represents the job step to run the application that produces the actual print
output. The
user application
refers to the program that produces the print file.
// DLBL PRD2,'VSE'PRD2.LIBRARY' // EXTENT ,volser // LIBDEF
PHASE,SEARCH=(PRD2.AFP)
Defines the library or libraries to be searched for the ACIF program and for all
the AFP resources (form definitions, page definition, fonts, overlays, and page
segments).
// ASSGN SYSLST,...
Defines the control statement and error message listing file.
// ASSGN SYS006,... // DLBL INPUT,... // EXTENT SYS006,...
Defines the file to be processed by ACIF. In the sample in Figure 22 on
page 84, this is the same data set as defined by the PRNTOUT file.
// ASSGN SYS007,... // DLBL OUTPUT,... // EXTENT SYS007,...
Defines the document file that ACIF creates as a result of processing the
application's print file. See OUTPUTDD on page 101 for the characteristics of
this file.
// ASSGN SYS008,... // DLBL RESOBJ,... // EXTENT SYS008,...
Defines the optional file in which ACIF places print resources used in
processing the application's print file. This file is not required if
RESTYPE=NONE is specified in the processing parameter file.
// ASSGN SYS009,... // DLBL INDEX,... // EXTENT SYS009,...
Defines the optional file in which ACIF places the index object file, if indexing is
requested.
This statement is not required unless indexing is requested or unless the input
print file contains indexing structured fields. If you are not sure whether the
input print file contains indexing structured fields, and you do not want an index
object file created, specify // ASSGN SYS009,IGN; no index object file will be
created.
//EXEC PGM=APKACIF ACIF parms go here.
Invokes the ACIF program. This statement must be followed immediately by
ACIF processing parameters.
