available
Explanation: The DECprint Supervisor software does not
recognize the DATA_TYPE parameter specified in the PRINT command, or
the indicated translator could not be found or started.
User Action: Check the PRINT command, correct the
DATA_TYPE parameter, and resubmit your request. If the DATA_TYPE
parameter is valid, have your system manager check that the TRN$*
translator files listed in the Release NotesRelease Notes are in the correct
location on your system and have WORLD:RE protection. Also have your
system manager check process-related quotas and resources for the
SYSTEM account, if your system is using multistreamed DCPS print
symbionts.

not one that the DECprint Supervisor provides a translator for. The
DECprint Supervisor software will attempt to find and use a translator for
this data type.
User Action: This message is informational only; the
print job is printed. The system manager should ensure that the data
type is actually one that is desired. If so, ensure that a translator
exists in the SYS$SHARE directory for such a data type. If not, correct
the specification of the logical. The queue must be stopped
(STOP/QUEUE/RESET) and started (START/QUEUE) for a new definition to
take effect.

With the DECprint Supervisor, you can print files on PostScript printers using the OpenVMS PRINT command. The PRINT command qualifiers are documented in this appendix and in the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary.
Table B-1 lists the PRINT command qualifiers and describes the functions of the qualifiers.
Several qualifiers apply only to print jobs for ANSI files; if you supply this type of qualifier on a PRINT command line for printing non-ANSI files, the qualifier is ignored and the file is printed.
| Qualifier | Description |
|---|---|
| /[NO]AFTER | Indicates the print job will be held in the queue until the specified time. |
| /[NO]BACKUP | Selects files for printing based on their last backup date and time. |
| /[NO]BEFORE | Specifies a date and time for the file selection qualifiers (/BACKUP, /CREATED, /EXPIRED, or /MODIFIED) and selects files with dates before the specified date and time. |
| /[NO]BURST | Controls file burst pages. |
| /[NO]BY_OWNER | Selects files to print based on the user identification code (UIC). |
| /CHARACTERISTICS | Specifies printer characteristics for the print job. |
| /[NO]CONFIRM | Prompts you for each file in the print job. |
| /COPIES | Specifies the number of copies of the file to print. |
| /[NO]CREATED | Selects files for printing based on the file creation date and time. |
| /[NO]DELETE | Deletes the print files automatically after the print job has been processed. |
| /[NO]EXCLUDE | Excludes a file or files from a print job. |
| /[NO]EXPIRED | Selects files for printing based on the file expiration date and time. |
| /[NO]FEED | Controls whether form feed characters are inserted at the end of pages. |
| /[NO]FLAG | Controls file flag pages. |
| /FORM | Specifies a form type whose characteristics will be applied to the print job. |
| /[NO]HEADER | Prints a header line at the top of each printed page. |
| /[NO]HOLD | Holds the print job until specifically released with SET ENTRY/RELEASE. |
| /[NO]IDENTIFY | Displays the print queue and print job number on your terminal when the print job is submitted. |
| /JOB_COUNT | Specifies the number of times to print the job. |
| /[NO]LOWERCASE | Specifies printing on a printer with lowercase printing capability. |
| /[NO]MODIFIED | Selects files for printing based on the date and time the file was last modified. |
| /NAME | Specifies a print job name. |
| /NOTE | Specifies a message to print on job separation pages. |
| /[NO]NOTIFY | Sends messages to your terminal when the print job starts and ends and when printer errors occur. |
| /OPERATOR | Sends the specified message to the operator when the print job is started. |
| /PAGES | Specifies a range of pages in the print job to print. |
| /PARAMETERS | Specifies one or more PRINT parameters for controlling the print job. |
| /[NO]PASSALL | Specifies whether to bypass DECprint Supervisor formatting of output. |
| /PRIORITY | Specifies a priority for the print job. |
| /QUEUE | Specifies the print queue for the print job. |
| /REMOTE | Creates a print job on a remote node in the network. |
| /[NO]RESTART | Enables the print job to be restarted after it has been interrupted. |
| /RETAIN | Specifies the circumstances under which you want your jobs to be retained in a queue. |
| /SETUP | Specifies a setup module to control printing of the print job. |
| /SINCE | Specifies a date and time for the file selection qualifiers (/BACKUP, /CREATED, /EXPIRED, or /MODIFIED) and selects files with dates after the specified date and time. |
| /[NO]SPACE | Controls double-spaced output. |
| /[NO]TRAILER | Controls file trailer pages. |
| /USER | Specifies the user name for the print job. |
Each qualifier is described in more detail with examples on the following pages.
/AFTER=time
/NOAFTER (default)
Specifies a time at which the print job should be released from the queue and printed. Without this qualifier, a print job is printed immediately or as soon as a printer becomes available.For example, the following print job will be started after 6:00 p.m.:
$ PRINT/AFTER=18:00 FARM.DAT/BACKUP
/NOBACKUP (default)
Selects files to print based on the time that the files were last backed up. Use this qualifier with the /BEFORE or /SINCE qualifier to specify the backup time. Other file selection qualifiers are /CREATED, /EXPIRED, and /MODIFIED. If /BEFORE or /SINCE is used without any file selection qualifier, the file creation time is used.For example, the following print job includes only the files named GROTON that were backed up before March 20, 2001:
$ PRINT/BACKUP/BEFORE=20-MAR-2001 GROTON.*/BEFORE=time
/NOBEFORE (default)
Prints files dated before the specified time of file creation, backup, expiration, or modification. You can enter a keyword (TODAY, TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY) instead of a time. Use this qualifier with one of the following qualifiers to change the file selection mode:
/BACKUP Selects files based on the time they were last backed up. /CREATED Selects files based on the file creation time. (This is the default if no file selection qualifier is included.) /EXPIRED Selects files based on the file expiration time. /MODIFIED Selects files based on the time the file was last modified. If you omit the /BEFORE qualifier, the specified files are printed, regardless of file creation, backup, modification, or expiration times.
For example, to print only the files named GROTON that were created before March 23, 2001, use the following command:
$ PRINT/CREATED/BEFORE=23-MAR-2001 GROTON.*/BURST[=keyword]
/NOBURST (default)
Specifies file burst pages printed before each copy of each file. The keyword ALL prints a burst page before each file; the keyword ONE prints a burst page before the first file in the job. This qualifier does not affect job burst pages. Refer to the System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide for more information about job separation pages.For example, to include a burst page before GROTON.DAT but not before FARM.DAT, use the following command:
$ PRINT GROTON.DAT/BURST FARM.DAT/BY_OWNER=uic
/NOBY_OWNER (default)
Prints only files with the specified UIC (user identification code). The default action is to print files regardless of the UIC.For example, to print the files named FARM.DAT that have the UIC [MACDONALD], use the following command:
$ PRINT/BY_OWNER=[MACDONALD] FARM.DAT
/CHARACTERISTICS=characteristic
Prints files on a printer that has been defined with the specified characteristics. Use the SHOW QUEUE/FULL command to list the characteristics for the print queue.For example, to print FARM.DAT on a printer with a characteristic defined as REDINK, use the following command:
$ PRINT/CHARACTERISTICS=REDINK FARM.DAT/CONFIRM
/NOCONFIRM (default)
Sends a confirmation prompt for each file, to which you can reply Yes or No to allow or disallow printing of that file. If you do not include this qualifier, you receive no prompts to confirm printing of each file in the request.For example, to print files named GROTON with confirmation of each file, use the following command:
$ PRINT/CONFIRM GROTON.* PRINT DISK:[MACDONALD]GROTON.TXT.3 ? [NO]Y/COPIES=n
Allows you to request multiple copies of a file. If you include this qualifier before the file specification, each file is printed n times. To obtain copies of a single file in a print job with multiple files, include this qualifier after the file specification. The default action if you do not include this qualifier is to print one copy of each file.For example, to print two copies each of FARM.DAT and GROTON.DAT, use the following command:
$ PRINT/COPIES=2 FARM.DAT,GROTON.DATWhen you use the /COPIES qualifier in a print job for DECprint Supervisor, the software must translate your file and transmit the file in PostScript form for each copy of the file that you request, if translation is required. This process increases the load on the computer system and can slow down your print job.
