File (FILE)
Specifies the physical database file containing the graphics data to be displayed.
The possible library values are:
- *LIBL
- The library list is used to locate the database file.
- *CURLIB
- The current library for the job locates the database file. If no current library entry exists in the library list, QGPL is used.
- library-name
- Specify the library where the database file is located.
Member (MBR)
Specifies the database file member containing the data to be displayed.
The possible values are:
- *FIRST
- The first member in the database file specified in the FILE parameter is used.
- member name
- The name of the file member used to display the data.
Output (OUTPUT)
Specifies that the file is either displayed (at a graphics-capable work station), plotted, or printed.
The possible values are:
- *
- The file is displayed at the graphics-capable work station.
- *PLOT
- The file is plotted on one of the available plotters.
- *PRINT
- The file is printed on one of the available printers.
Device type (DEVTYPE)
Specifies the device type that prints or plots the file. This parameter is relevant only if OUTPUT(*PLOT) or OUTPUT(*PRINT) is specified.
The possible values are:
- 7372
- The 7372 plotter that plots the file.
- 7371
- The 7371 plotter that plots the file.
- 6180
- The 6180 plotter that plots the file.
- 6182
- The 6182 plotter that plots the file.
- 5224
- The 5224 printer that prints the file.
- 5225
- The 5225 printer that prints the file.
- 4214
- The 4214 printer that prints the file.
- 4234
- The 4234 printer that prints the file.
- IPDS
- Any graphics-capable Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) printer installed at your location. Specify this parameter when using either the 4234, 4028 3812, or 3816 printers.
Plotter pen rate (PENRATE)
Specifies the speed of the pens on the plotter when the file is being plotted.
The possible values are:
- 100
- The pens plot at 100% speed.
- pen-rate
- The speed, specified as a percentage, of the pens on the plotter.
Plotter pen width (PENWTH)
Specifies the width of the strokes of the pens when the file is plotted.
The possible values are:
- 3
- The stroke of the pens is 0.3 millimeters.
- pen-width
- A number that specifies the stroke of the pens (between 0.1 and 1.0 millimeters).
Plotter address (PLTADR)
Specifies the plotter address where the plotter is located.
The possible values are:
- *SEARCH
- The file is plotted on the first plotter located by the address specified.
- plotter-address
- A number, between 1 and 31, that specifies the plotter location.
Plotter paper horizontal (HRZPPR)
Specifies the position of the paper in the plotter.
The possible values are:
- *YES
- The long side of the paper is horizontal.
- *NO
- The short side of the paper is horizontal.
Plotter paper size (PPRSIZE)
Specifies the size of the paper where you plot the file.
The possible values are:
- *SMALL
- The file is plotted on paper 210 by 297 millimeters (8.5 by 11 inches).
- *LARGE
- The file is plotted on paper 297 by 420 millimeters (11 by 17 inches).
Form feed (FORMFEED)
Specifies that the plotter automatically loads the paper.
The possible values are:
- *AUTOCUT
- The plotter automatically loads the paper.
- *CUT
- You must manually load the paper before plotting.
*ESCAPE Messages
