ABSTRACT: PSF/VSE to PSF/6000 migration

Hi, one of my customers is migrating from PSF/VSE to PSF/6000 and I
have a few questions that are not found anywhere yet..
- They are reformatting they output in ASCII file with minimum control
characters ( from feed, line feed ) that are Proprinter format.
Can they still use PPFA/6000 to print this data in 4-UP ?
Announcement letter says no control characters but I'm not sure
it literally means NO CONTROL CHARACTERS.
- In PSF/VSE ( or MVS ) we had to cancel address space when we change
pagedefs and formdefs with same names. Does this apply to PSF/6000 ?
If it does, how do we cancel address space ?
- I also need to know what default resources are shipping with
PSF/6000. As you know, VSE resources are not usable to them.
Thanks.
A:
R1) We added function in the September 1994 timeframe through a PTF that
now allows you use a pagedef with ASCII data that includes a form feed
and/or carriage return, as well as the line feeds that we always
accepted. Pls see Update Guide G544-5264 (PENPUBS disk, about 235 pgs)
beginning on page 139 for information on the new input exits,
asciinp and asciinpe.
R2) No, you shouldn't have to cancel the instance of PSF/6000 in the
case you describe. PSF/6000 behaves differently than do the host
PSFs in this situation. (By the way, to recycle PSF/6000 when you
do need you, use the psfctl command. See the Print Admin book as
well as the pub I referenced above for the original psfctl command
plus some enhancements.)
R3) For a list of the resources shipped with PSF/6000, for fonts
please see the appendices of the Print Admin guide. There are some
formdefs and pagedefs listed there as well, but for a revised list
please see the Update guide I listed above.
We have had one customer successfully migrate VSE resources over to
VM and then down to the RISC. I can get you more detail or contacts
if you like; please reopen this item if so.
I hope that helps.
