The PRINTDISPOSITION file attribute controls when the system generates a print request for any given backup file, as discussed under Storing Printer Backup Files Temporarily earlier in this section. If PRINTDISPOSITION has the default value of EOJ, then the system creates print requests in the following manner:
-
When a job terminates, the system groups the backup files produced by the job and its tasks into print requests. These print requests are groups of all the backup files that can be printed on the same device. The system then queues all the print requests for printing. In this context, a session is treated like a job, and backup files produced by tasks of the session are queued for printing when you end the session.
-
For WFL jobs submitted through a MARC or CANDE WFL command, the backup files are associated with the session and are queued for printing when the session ends. However, for WFL jobs submitted through a MARC or CANDE START command, the backup files are associated with the job and are queued for printing when the job terminates.
