SET PROGRAM
If you omit system-number or physical-node, the name is resolved with the
SYSTEM value set for the associated NODE object. If no value is specified for the
NODE object SYSTEM attribute, the physical node name defaults to the physical
system on which the PXMCFG utility ran during the configuration process.
The
group-name and user-name values default to the user ID of the user who
started PXMCOM.
PRINTER
specifies the printer to be used for the SCREEN COBOL PRINT SCREEN verb.
An attached printer either physically plugs into the terminal (for example, a
T16-6520 or T16-6530 terminal) or connects to the same line controller (for
example, an IBM 3270 compatible terminal using AM3270) as the terminal on
which the SCREEN COBOL program runs.
file-name
specifies the file name for the print device. You usually use file-name when
the printer is not attached or when multiple attached printers are connected to a
line controller. This attribute overrides the current value configured for the
PRINTER attribute.
Defaults for file name expansion are based on the values of the SYSTEM and
DEFAULT attributes of the associated NODE object.
The specified file name is placed in the SCREEN COBOL special register
TERMINAL-PRINTER when the program starts running on a terminal. While a
screen program runs, it can modify the file name in its TERMINAL-PRINTER
register and then use the new file name.
If you omit file-name, the SCREEN COBOL TERMINAL-PRINTER
special register is set to SPACES (that is, ASCII blanks).
If a printer is not attached, the SCREEN COBOL verb PRINT-SCREEN obtains
the printer’s file name from the special register TERMINAL-PRINTER.
IS-ATTACHED
directs the copy of the screen image to a printer that is either physically attached
to the terminal or on the same line controller as the terminal on which the
program runs. IS-ATTACHED is one of the following:
If you specify PRINTER IS-ATTACHED for a T16-6520, T16-6530, or
T16-6540 terminal, the SCREEN COBOL special register TERMINAL-
PRINTER is ignored.
T16-6530 Directs copy to a printer attached directly to the terminal.
T16-6520 Directs copy to a printer attached directly to the terminal.
IBM-3270 Directs copy to the device that is attached to the same control
unit as the terminal.
