Q:                                                                              
ABSTRACT:     How does a PSM user specify -odatack=UNBLOCK?  Thanks.

              PSF/AIX                                                           
..                                                                              
I have a user who built a PAGEDEF which most certainly caused output            
to be printed off the logical page.  Yet, no error messages came out.           
The job was submitted via a PDPR command in PSM.  I see how if they             
used an AIX ENQ command, they could specify the -odatack attribute              
and say "=UNBLOCK", which might have caused the messages to flow,               
since the PSF/AIX default is apparently -odatack=BLOCK.  I don't                
see, however, how a PSM user should accomplish the same task.  I'd              
appreciate your thoughts on this.  Thanks.                                      
                                                                               
A:                                                                              
The PSF parameter datack=unblock corresponds to a pair of attributes            
in PSM.  One is at the logical printer level, and that is                       
data-fidelity-problem-reported-supported; the value "all" equates               
to PSF's "unblock".  The other attribute is at the document or IVD              
level, and that is data-fidelity-problem-reported; again the value              
"all" equates to "unblock".  PSM validates and schedules jobs using             
this latter attribute against the former (logical printer) attribute.           
                                                                                
For more information, please see PSM Command Reference, S544-3998-02,           
page 218 for the logical printer attribute, and pages 158-159 for the           
document/IVD attribute.                                                         
                                                                                
I hope that helps.
