QUESTION:
How to create the PRSET dataset and display PRSET members that are stored in the database
Answer:
PRSET members contain printer setups, commands, print attributes, etc. The information is placed after the report banner and before the first line of the report.
Each PRSET member can contain up to 50 records. PRSET member names are referenced on the Deliver Report Definition panel. If you do not specify the name of a PRSET on the Report Definition panel, no PRSET member is used by default.
CA-View does not include an example of a PRSET dataset.
Define the PRSET library as a partitioned data set (PDS) with:
RECFM=FBA
LRECL=133
BLKSIZE=27960
The format of the PRSET records is as follows:
The first position in each record in a printer setup member contains a valid ASA carriage control character. The format of the records in a printer setup member depends on the requirements of your printer.
For instance, PRSET records setting print attributes for printing on a Xerox 9700 (or compatible) printer can be DJDE statements.
PRSET records defining attributes for printing on an IBM 3800 (or compatible) printer using PSF can be records beginning with X'5A' control records.
After creating the PRSET members, you need to run an RMODBASE PLOAD to load the members into the database before they can be used.
The printer setup library is defined with the DD statement RMOPLIB. The high-level name of the database must have been defined previously with the NAME control statement (or the PARM parameter of the EXEC JCL statement).
//..................JOBCARD..................................................
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=RMODBASE
//*
//STEPLIB DD DSN=................................CAILIB,DISP=SHR
//RMOPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=.............................PRSETLIB
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
