6500-LU0-DSC-Local Non-SNA 3174 Control Unit

LU0-DSC mode is utilized when no host printing controls are required to accomplish the print function desired and the control unit is attached by a VTAM-Controlled NON-SNA Control Unit. An existing local 3174 NON-SNA-connected control unit is assumed. The steps required to install an LU0-DSC printer for host definitions are as follows:
  1. VTAM Definition

    The following should be added to the Local Major Node VTAM definition. The printer will be attached as an LU1-IPDS capable printer.

    LOC3174      VBUILD    TYPE=LOCAL
    
    LOCPU74      PU        CUADDR=nnn...
    
    LOC6500      LU
    
    LOCADDR=n,MODETAB=MYMODETB,DLOGMODE=printer,ISTATUS=ACTIVE

    The following entry should be placed in the VTAM MODE TABLE specified above or another of your choice.

    6500DSCL MODEENT LOGMODE=6500DSCL,
    
             FMPROF=X'02',TSPROF=X'02',PRIPROT=X'60',
    
             SECPROT=X'40',COMPROT=X'0000',RUSIZES=X'C7C7',
    
             PSERVIC=X'000000000000185018507F00'
    
             PSNDPAC=X'80',SRCVPAC=X'00',SSNDPAC=X'00'
  2. JES2 Definition (SYS1.PARMLIB)
    RMT1 LUTYPE0,BUFSIZE=3840,LINE=1,NUMRD=0,NUMPR=1,NOCOMP,NOCMPCT,
    
              SETUPHDR,CONSOLE
    
    R1.PR1 CLASS=A,NOSEP,PRWIDTH=132,NOFCBLOD,WS=(W,R,Q,PMD,LIM,F,T/C,P),
    
              CKTPAGE=30
    
    DESTID NAME=LOC6500,DEST=R1
  3. Define to CICS or another application program

    Host commands for changing printer settings are not supported in this mode. Refer to the vendor documentation for defining an DSC printer to the program for its use.

  4. Printer Settings
    It is recommended that the following printer settings be changed from factory default setting:
    • v Printer Control => Interface Selection => Coax
    • Coax Interface => Format Control => Enable
    • Coax Interface => Early Print Complete => Enable

    In LU0 mode the printer settings control the orientation, CPI, LPI and all other aspects of the printed output. Therefore, you must set the printer settings to match the characteristics of the job you are printing. Host controls are not supported in this mode.
