In Reports, GLB.STN contains the Report destination.
GLB.STN can be used for ROC Shadow Reports, in the form GLB.STNx (not applicable for
non ROC Reports), where x is the one-character Shadow Report designator (A through Z).
Changing the value of GLB.STN causes a release of the current print file. The value of
GLB.STN is stored when a Frame is printed. This value is later compared to the current
value at the next PRINT.FRAME; command, to determine if a release is required. The
release is prompted by that comparison, not by a MOVE; into the GLB.STN data item.
Default GLB.STN values for each device type (GLB.DEVICE value) and runtime host type
are shown in the following table.
GLB.DEVICE Default for GLB.STN Runtime Host Types
DI GLB.SPACES All
EX GLB.SPACES All (ROC only)
LP GLB.SPACES All
RP GLB.ASCPRT MCP based LINC Systems only
TP GLB.ASCPRT All
VD GLB.INITSTN All
Spaces GLB.SPACES All (ROC only)
Further specific details for each host type are given in the following subsections.
MCP environment
GLB.STN is optional for ROC line printer (LP) Reports. If it is used, it enables a Report to
specify a particular line printer; for example, LP10 or LP11.
