Defining a Print Output File - Interactive Teradata Query Facility

Before starting ITEQ from TSO or VM, or during your ITEQ session, you can define a print output file using the following commands:

Under TSO:

tso attrib printatt lrecl(85) recfm(v)

tso allocate ddname(iteqprt2) sysout(b) using(printatt)

Under VM:

CMS;

filedef iteqprt2 printer (recfm vba lrecl 85

cp spool printer cont class b

return

This sequence of commands:

Enters TSO or CMS

Defines the following file attributes:

A logical record length of 85 bytes for a print line width of 80 characters (one extra byte for the printer control character and four extra bytes for a record descriptor word for each record)

A variable record format

Assigns the file to output class B

After defining a print output file, during your ITEQ session you can send the current result to be printed on 8 1/2‑ by 11‑inch paper by executing the following ITEQ PRINT command:

PRINT iteqprt2;

A print output file is cleared and made available for printing when you log off TSO or CMS. To clear a print output file during your ITEQ session to make it immediately available for printing, execute:

Under TSO:

tso free iteqprt2

Under CMS:

CMS;

filedef iteqprt2 clear

cp spool printer nocont

cp close print

return
