PRINTINIT[2] Procedure

The PRINTINIT[2] procedure is used in print processes to initialize communication with

the spooler supervisor.

The PRINTINIT procedure initializes the print process's print control buffer, which is

used in calls to other print procedures.

PRINTINIT[2] is the same procedure with a larger buffer.

error-code returned value

INT

returns one of the following spooler error codes:

filenum-of-supervisor input

INT:value

is the file number of an open supervisor file. The file number is returned when the

supervisor is opened. This file must be opened nowait.

print-control-buffer input, output

is formatted by PRINTINIT[2] and should be passed unaltered to other print

procedures.

error-code := PRINTINIT[2] ( filenum-of-supervisor ! i

,print-control-buffer ); ! i,o

%2000-%2377 File error on data file (bits <8:15> contain a Guardian file-

system error number).

%3000-%3377 Supervisor file error (<8:15> contains a file error). This error

indicates a communication problem with the supervisor. A print

process receiving this error can call ABEND, retry the operation

a number of times, or continue reading and printing jobs

without any further communication with the supervisor.

%4000-%4377 Device error sent to the supervisor by the print process (bits

<8:15> contain a file-system error number).

%10000 Missing parameter.

%10001 Parameter present, but its content is wrong.

INT:ref:64 (Use with PRINTINIT)

INT:ref:128 (Use with PRINTINIT2)
