PRINT SCREEN Statement
I/O Performed by the PRINT SCREEN Statement
The PRINT SCREEN I/O sequence begins with a top-of-form operation. Each screen
line is written in a separate record; trailing blanks and trailing null values are
suppressed. Printing starts with the line at the top of the screen and proceeds through
the line at the bottom of the screen.
Diagnostic Screens
A diagnostic screen, which is described in Appendix A, Advisory Messages, can be
displayed when an error occurs during a PRINT SCREEN sequence. An example of
the default diagnostic screen is:
IBM3270 Attached Printers
To permit a screen on an IBM3270 terminal to be printed, an input field must be
declared starting at screen position 1,2. If a protected field is in this position, the
screen is locked for screen copy operations and a PRINTER I/O ERROR (179) occurs.
The destination device of a PRINT SCREEN operation must have a device type of 10
and must use the CRT protocol of the AM3270 access method. For additional
information, see the Device-Specific Access Methods—AM3270/TR3271 manual.
4 A fatal error has occurred. During I/O to the device, an operating
system file error code indicating a fatal error condition was returned.
Default system action: The terminal is suspended with the possibility
of restart, and a message describing the error is logged to the log file.
