Secure Output From MVS and CMS

        By Dr. Philip Baczewski, Assistant Director, Academic Computing Services (baczewski@unt.edu)

        Designation of output as secure should be specified only for output that is critically important. Secure printouts re-filed in limited access boxes. You must present your UNT ID to the consultant at the output window to retrieve your printout.

        • To Specify SECURE filing for MVS Batch jobs: In the Job card name field, specify '$lastname' (use the single quotes - your name can include up to 19 characters). You must include the leading dollar sign ($) and you must use the last name which appears on your UNT ID. If space allows, you may also include all or part of your first name after the last name. Example JOB cards are as follows:
          //AANNJOB JOB (AANN,2,30),'$LONGFELLOW',USER=AANN,
          // PASSWORD=SECRET
          //AANNJOB JOB (AANN,2,30),'$DOEJOHN',USER=AANN,
          // PASSWORD=SECRET
        • To Specify SECURE filing for CMS Output: Set "$lastnam" as the CMS printer distribution specification, where "lastnam" is the first seven letters of your last name. You must include the leading dollar sign ($) and you must use the last name which appears on your UNT ID. If space allows, you may also include all or part of your first name after the last name. Example commands to change your printer distribution from the CMS Ready; prompt are as follows:
          SPOOL E DIST $LONGFEL
          SPOOL E DIST $DOEJOHN 

          The distribution field will remain in effect until you issue another "SPOOL E DIST name" command, IPL CMS, or log off and log back onto CMS.
