Destination of Z Data Tools print output
Any Z Data Tools print output that you produce in a batch job is sent to SYSPRINT by default.
Sections of the output can be directed instead to the following ddnames:
- HFMROPT
- Z Data Tools active options
- HFMRPRM
- $$FILEM command parameters and return codes
- HFMRPRC
- REXX procedure statements read from SYSIN
- HFMREPT
- Command reports and return codes
- HFMRSUM
- TALLY summary report
If HFMPRINT is present in the JCL, it is used instead of SYSPRINT.
- SYSPRINT
- Output is sent to the current SYSPRINT allocation.
- SYSOUT=c
- Output is accumulated in the data set specified by the PRINTDSN
parameter of the SET function.
To browse your print output online, use Print Browse (option 3.9). This option is a shortcut to browsing the data set specified by the PRINTDSN parameter. To go to the Print Browse panel directly from any other Z Data Tools panel, enter
PB
on the Command line. For information about using the Print Browse panel, see Printing from Z Data Tools. - TERMINAL
- Output is sent to the terminal.
- REXX
- Output is written to a REXX stem variable. Each line of output
corresponds to a variable named FILEM.nnn.
FILEM.0 contains a line count.
After your first printing operation, lines of output are written in variables FILEM.1 to FILEM.n, and FILEM.0 has the value n. The next printing operation begins with FILEM.n+1.
