PE PTF List: PTF List: Parent APAR: Child APAR list: ERROR DESCRIPTION: ************************* INDEX ******************************** SECTION A - JOBS NOT PURGED SECTION B - NONPROCESS RUNOUT SECTION C - OTHER PRINTERS IDLE SECTION D - COPYMARK / OFFSET STACKING SECTION E - STEPLIB SECTION F - CANCELLING THE PSF ADDRESS SPACE - FSS SECTION G - SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SECTION H - PAPER JAM RECOVERY PROCEDURE **************************************************************** A - JOBS DO NOT PURGE FROM THE SPOOL PSF DOES NOT RELEASE THE DATASET BACK TO JES UNTIL THE LAST PAGE OF A JOB HAS REACHED THE STACKER. * NOTE * SOME PRINTERS HAVE A FEATURE CALLED EPC (EARLY PRINT COMPLETE) eg, D/T3912, D/T3916, D/T3130 etc. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THE ABOVE TYPE PRINTERS, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE PRINT JOB TO BE PURGED FROM JES PRIOR TO THE PRINT JOB COMPLETING AT THE PRINTER. AS LONG AS THE PRINTER IS NOT POWERED OFF, PRINT IS GUARANTEED TO COMPLETE. SOME PRINTERS MAY HAVE EPC AS A SELECTABLE OPTION WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE CONFIGURATION. CHECK YOUR PRINTER MANUAL FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS FEATURE. B - NONPROCESS RUNOUT ( NPRO ) IF THERE IS NO MORE WORK FOR THE PRINTER, THE LAST DATASET MAY NOT MOVE TO THE STACKER. THIS IS DUE TO THE ACTION REQUESTED BY THE NPRO PARAMETER. IF THE NPRO VALUE IS SET TO 1, THEN PSF WILL INITIATE A NON-PROCESS RUNOUT. IF THE NPRO VALUE IS SET TO 0, THE OPERATOR WILL HAVE TO PERFORM A MANUAL NPRO TO MOVE THE LAST PAGE OF THE LAST DATASET TO THE STACKER. C - *** SEE JES APAR OY15494 FOR NEW FUNCTION FOR SITUATION DESCRIBED BELOW *** LOOKAHEAD JIB OTHER PRINTERS ARE IDLE WHILE THE PAGEMODE PRINTER IS PRINTING ONE JOB WITH ANOTHER SCHEDULED TO FOLLOW. YOU MAY SEE A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE A LARGE JOB PRINTING ON A PAGEMODE PRINTER AND ANOTHER SMALL JOB QUEUED UP BEHIND IT. NO OPERATOR COMMANDS ALLOW YOU TO MOVE THAT SMALLER JOB TO ANOTHER PRINTER WHICH MAY BE IDLE. THIS IS NOT A PSF CAUSED SITUATION. IT IS CREATED BY A JES LOOK-AHEAD JIB. JES IS THE COMPONENT THAT SCHEDULES WORK TO PSF, PSF ONLY WAITS FOR WORK. THE LOOK-AHEAD JIB WAS DESIGNED TO ALWAYS KEEP THE PAGEMODE PRINTER ACTIVE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THIS FUNCTION, CONTACT THE JES SUPPORT GROUP. D - COPYMARKS / OFFSET STACKING PSF CAUSES OFFSET STACKING TO OCCUR BETWEEN COPYGROUPS. THIS PARAMETER IS SPECIFIED IN THE FORMDEF. JES CAUSED COPYMARKS OR OFFSET STACKING TO OCCUR BETWEEN DATASETS WITHIN A JOB AND BETWEEN JOBS. REFER TO JES2 APAR OY14271 FOR INFORMATION REGARDING OPERATOR CONTROL OF THIS FUNCTION. COPYMARKS ARE PRINTED ON CONTINUOUS FORMS AND OFFSET STACKING IS FOR CUT-SHEET PRINTERS. PSF LOOKS AT THE GDSCMC AND GDSCMCPY BITS IN THE GDSFLGR1 BYTE PASSED TO IT FROM JES. BIT SETTINGS CMC CMCPY RESULTING ACTION ------------------------------------------------------- 0 0 COPY MARKING / OFFSETTING NEVER OCCURS 1 0 MARKING AT BEGINNING OF EACH DATASET 0 1 MARKING AT BEGINNING OF EACH COPY 1 1 MARKING AT BEGINNING OF EACH DATASET AND AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH COPY WHEN YOU TURN OFF JOGGING USING THE $T OR *R JES COMMANDS THIS CAUSES THE PRINTER TO CONTINUE PRINTING IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE PREVIOUS JOB. IF YOU WANT THE PRINTER TO PRINT AT THE HOMESTATE POSITION, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THE PREVIOUS JOB ENDED, YOU WILL NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING. 1) DRAIN THE PRINTER ($P) 2) CHANGE THE COPYMARK PARAMETER TO 'CONSTANT' ($T) 3) AT PRINTER CONSOLE - - STOP THE PRINTER - POWER THE PRINTER ON AND OFF WHICH INSURES THE BIN IS IN THE 'HOME' POSITION AND REENABLE THE CHANNEL 4) RESTART THE PRINTER ($S) TO RESUME JOGGING - 1) DRAIN THE PRINTER ($P) 2) CHANGE COPYMARK = (JOB OR DATASET) ($T) 3) START THE PRINTER ($S) E - STEPLIBBING IN JES INIT STATEMENT- SEE II02890 MANY TIMES CUSTOMERS INSTALL A NEW RELEASE OF JES OR APPLY MAINTENANCE TO A TEST SYSTEM AND USE STEPLIB STATEMENTS IN THEIR JES INISH DECK TO ENABLE THEIR USE OF BOTH SYSTEMS. THERE ARE SEVERAL HARD TO DIAGNOSIS ERROR CONDITIONS THAT CAN OCCUR WHEN JES AND PSF ARE NOT POINTING TO THE SAME LEVEL OF HASPFSSM. PLEASE ENSURE THAT BOTH JES AND PSF ARE USING THE SAME RELEASE AND MAINTENANCE LEVEL OF HASPFSSM. F - CANCELLING THE FSA AND THE FSS IF WORKING IN A MULTIPLE FSA ENVIRONMENT, EACH PRINTER WILL HAVE TO BE DRAINED BEFORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO CANCEL THE PSF ADDRESS SPACE. WE RECOMMEND USING THE MVS CANCEL COMMAND TO CANCEL THE FSS OVER THE USE OF THE $T MODE=JES COMMAND. H - PAPER JAM RECOVERY PROCEDURE ( PAPERJAM ) 1 - JAM OCCURS ON PRINTER 2 - MSGIOS003A - INTERVENTION REQUIRED 3 - OPERATOR OBSERVES PRINTER STATUS CODE 4 - STATUS CODE INDICATES PAPERJAM 5 - OPERATOR FOLLOWS SPECIFIC PRINTER'S JAM RECOVERY PROCEDURES (SEE PRINTER'S OPERATOR MANUAL) 6 - OPERATOR MAKES PRINTER 'READY' 7 - IOS SEES READY (DEVICE END) AND CLEARS WTO MSG 8 - CONTROL IS RETURNED TO PSF 9 - PSF REPOSITIONS AND PRINTS JAM MESSAGE PAGE (APS711I) 10 - PSF RESUMES PRINTING BASED UPON WHICH PAGE HAD BEEN LOCATED AT THE JAM POINT IN THE PRINTER. 11 - AFTER PRINTER STARTS PRINTING, THE OPERATOR OBSERVES OUTPUT AND DETERMINES IF MANUAL REPOSITIONING IS REQUIRED. 12 - OPERATOR 'MAY' NEED TO STOP THE PRINTER AGAIN, AND THEN ISSUE A BACKSPACE COMMAND. **** PLEASE NOTE !!!!!!! PSF MUST BE ALLOWED TO USE IT'S INTERNAL PAPERJAM RECOVERY BEFORE ANY JES BACKSPACE COMMANDS ARE ISSUED. UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS MAY OCCUR IF STEPS 1-12 ARE NOT FOLLOWED. IF A BACKSPACE COMMAND IS ENTERED PRIOR TO PSF COMPLETING NORMAL REPOSITIONING, THE BACKSPACE COMMAND MAY BE "LOST" DURING THE NORMAL REPOSITIONING PROCESS.
