Specify separator pages

Separator pages are pages that print at the beginning of the printed output.

Separator pages for print jobs (job separators) are specified by the SEPPAGE parameter on the output queue. For each job having spooled files on the output queue, the specified number of separator pages will print at the beginning of the printed output for each job.

Separator pages for spooled files (file separators) are specified in the printer file or the printer writer. The specified number of separator pages will print before each spooled file.

Customized separator pages can be configured through the use of an exit program. You can specify an exit program on the SEPPGM parameter of the printer device description. A sample exit program (sourced in C and RPG) can be found in the QUSRTOOL library. See member TBSINFO in file QATTINFO in library QUSRTOOL for information about this sample exit program.
