Issue/Introduction

Performing a Reprint in CA Dispatch to a VPSX Printer 

Seeing the following error messages in the VPS task output and the Reprint fails : -   

LRS1402W  VPSPD PRTTEST  KEYWORD FAILED VALIDATION

TYPE=VPS OUTPUT KWD KWDNAME=ID RSN=UNKNOWN KEYWORD NAME


VPS0397E - KWD TYPE INVALID TYPE=ID=<REPORTAA>

Cause

In SDSF, issue a Q in front of the report to display the USERDATA1 field:

A1TS123F UserData                                                 
         ID=<REPORTAA> JOBNAME=TESTJOB  JOBID=STC01234            
         AMDY=12122023 ATIME=083009 DESC=<TEST PRINT        > 
          SOURCE=06 COMMENT=<MY USER>                    
          TYPE=TEXT                                               

An update is performed to remove the following fields : - 

        ID=<REPORTAA> and AMDY=12122023

and the Reprint  then completes successfully

Is there any option in CA Dispatch that can be used to remove the USERDATA1 information  ? 

Resolution

On the CA Dispatch Report Recipient definition screen (VRDMU130) there is the field  : - 

 AFP Mode:        
   Output/IAFP ==>

Code a name in that field and have the same name coded as an Output statement in the Ca Dispatch STC Jcl   

Example : - 

AFP Mode:        
   Output/IAFP ==>CADSOUT

and in the Dispatch STC Jcl have an Output statement  : - 

CADSOUT OUTPUT PAGEDEF=DUMMY FORMDEF=DUMMY 

With a value specified in the "OUTPUT NAME" field of screen VRDMU130  and a corresponding OUTPUT statement in the CA Dispatch STC JCL then the CA Dispatch Reprint request will not populate the USERDATA field.
