We have requirement to generate the PDF file from mainframe PS file. Currently, pointing to prd printer ( provided jcl info )and its printing hard copy @ printer . We want to map to virtual and it should generate the PDf document.
//CARDIN DD SUBSYS=(PIPE,LINEIN1,STAR,
// 'JDE=UDEC,JDL=P12121,DOFORMS=B111 , ',
// 'PRTLOC=(0000), ',
// 'JES,LINEUP,REMOTE,UPDATE ')
Can you please let us know what parameters are required for virtual printer setup. And also share the sample if you have.
And let us know if you have others options ( tools.. etc) |

So you currently are printing directly to a printer and now you want to create a PDF file instead? IF you want to do this on the mainframe, what software have you installed to do so? If the answer is none, then your first problem is that the mainframe won't create a PDF without software running.
Where is the "virtual printer" running? It sounds VERY MUCH like you need to be working with your site support group to implement your printing change, rather than getting on a forum where we have no idea about your site and its environment.
Bottom line: contact your site support group. |
