Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF)

Creating and Submitting JCL

To generate and submit JCL for print jobs, follow these steps:

1. Choose one of the options listed in the Process Option section of the panel. 1 (PK) for print and keep, or 2 (PD) for print and delete.
2. Type in a fully qualified dataset name and member name.
3. If the dataset is not cataloged, specify the volume serial.
4. If your dataset is password protected, type the password in the Data Set Password field.
5. Type in either Batch or Local in the Print Mode field.

   Note: If you choose Batch, type a SYSOUT class and any job statement information you need. If you choose Local, type the name of a local printer in the Local Printer ID field.

6. Press Enter.

   If you chose Batch, ISPF generates the JCL and displays the message JCL Generated. You can either cancel the job by typing Cancel in the Option field and pressing Enter or submit the job by typing End and pressing.

   If you chose Local, ISPF calls the PRINTDS TSO command processor to print the dataset on the specified local printer.
