- -f=printfile
- Specifies the name of a file to which the output of print requests is
appended. If you do not specify a full path, printfile is created in the <install_path>⁄bin directory.
If the name of the file contains embedded blanks, it must be surrounded by
double quotes (“). Any double quotes within the name of the file must
be entered as backslash double quote (\“).
If neither of the -f
or -p parameters is provided, the Print command or Print file setting in the configuration file defines the command,
file, or default action to take with print requests.
- -j
- Specifies that cicsprnt should concatenate all EXEC CICS SEND
PRINT commands issued on a server transaction into a single print job. This
print job is issued when the transaction terminates. Otherwise cicsprnt will
generate a separate print job for every EXEC CICS SEND PRINT command
issued for a server transaction.
- -m=modelname
- Specifies the name of a model terminal definition, as known at the server
to which the 3270 Print Terminal emulator is to connect, to be used to define
the terminal characteristics. If this parameter is not specified, any Model terminal definition value
from the configuration file is used. If no Model terminal definition value has been specified in
the configuration file, the server’s default terminal definition is assumed.
You must specify either the -m or the -n option, or both.
This
option is case-sensitive
- -n=netname
- Specifies the name of a particular terminal definition at the server
that this 3270 Print Terminal emulator is to be installed as. The precise
interpretation of netname varies between servers. For example, on TXSeries® for AIX it
is a netname.
You must specify either the -m or the -n option, or
both.
This option is case-sensitive.
- -p=printcmd
- Specifies a command used to process the temporary print file generated
when print requests are received by the terminal emulator.
If the command contains embedded blanks, the command
must be surrounded by double quotes (“). Any double quotes within the
command must be entered as backslash double quote (\“).
If neither of the -f or -p parameters is specified, the Print command or Print file setting in the configuration file defines the command,
file, or default action to take with print requests.
The temporary
print file is post-processed by appending the file name to the command, and
executing the resultant command. Thus print output may simply be copied to
a local printer, copied into a permanent file, processed further for inclusion
into a document, and so on. If the temporary file is to be processed by a
print command, the command is responsible for deleting the temporary file.
- -q
- Disables the display of all messages output by the command.
- -s=servername or -r=servername
- Specifies the name of the server that the printer is to be connected
to. This servername must correspond to an entry in the configuration file. You can
specify -s, or -r, but not both.
If neither parameter is specified,
the first server entry in the configuration file is used.
If the parameter is
specified as -s or -r (that is, no servername is provided) then, if
the configuration file identifies more than one potential server to which the Client daemon can
connect, the user is prompted to select from a list of available servers.
These prompts are generated even if the -q parameter is specified.
If there is only one potential server identified in the configuration file that server
is used and the user is not prompted.
- -t=initialtransid
- Identifies the initial transaction to be invoked for this printer. If
this option is omitted, any initial transaction specified in the configuration file is
run. The string may be up to 128 characters long, specifying both a transaction
name, and parameters to be passed to the transaction. The transaction name
is the first four characters or the characters up to the first blank in the
string. The rest of the string is the parameter data.
If the parameter
is specified as -t= (that is, the initialtransid is omitted), any initial
transaction specified in the configuration file is ignored.
Note: Be
careful that transactions that you specify either here or in the configuration file do
not require terminal input to complete.
This option is
case-sensitive.
- -w
- Prompts the user, before the command completes, to press the Enter key,
to confirm that messages output to the screen (both informational and error)
have been read.
- -?
- Causes the parameter syntax to be listed; any other options specified
are ignored.
