ASSIGN and PARAM Commands
an odd or even page. Printing over the page folds on the trailer pages enables
jobs to be easily separated from each other.
PARAM DEVPARM
The PARAM DEVPARM command specifies a device parameter that is passed to the
print process controlling this device whenever the supervisor communicates with the
print process. This configuration parameter applies individually to all interspooler
threads. The command is equivalent to the SPOOLCOM command DEV PARM.
parameter
is a number that can be represented in 16 bits. The range for parameter is
-32768 through +32767. The default value is 0, which specifies that the print
process retain the source job location and job ownership when the job is copied to
the target spooler. Other default attributes are described in Table 6-2.
The default value of PARM DEVPARM is set for the FASTP print process. If you use
another print process, you must ensure that the value is appropriate for that print
process.
This parameter allows you to control operations performed by the print process when
transferring print jobs from the local (source) spooler to a remote (target) spooler.
Some job attributes that FASTP sets for a print job delivered to a target spooler are
listed in Table 6-2 together with the bit values to change the operation.
PARAM DEVPARM parameter
Table 6-2. Default Attributes Set by FASTP on Interspooler Transferred Print
Jobs (page 1 of 2)
Bit Value Attribute of Transferred Print Jobs FASTP’s Default Operation
< 10 > 0 Retains the same job ownership at
the target spooler as at the source
spooler
Equals 0. For example, if user
ADMIN.OPERATOR submitted a
job at the source node, FASTP
sets ADMIN.OPERATOR as the
job’s owner at the target node.
1 Sets job ownership
(PROCESSACCESSID) at target
node to the print process performing
the transfer
< 11 > 0 Omits any HOLDAFTER flag for a
job transferred to target spooler
Equals 0. FASTP delivers all jobs
without a HOLDAFTER flag to the
target spooler.
1 Always sets the HOLDAFTER flag
for a job transferred to a target
spooler
