z/OS V1R9.0 TSO/E Command Reference

PRINTDS Command||||UCS(universal_character_set_name)specifies the alphanumeric value for the universal character set name. Specifyup to 4 characters. If you do not specify the CHARS operand, the system usesthe UCS as the default.WRITER(external_writer_name)specifies a name for use in processing or selecting a SYSOUT data set. If youspecify the external writer name, the output data set is written under the controlof that external writer rather than the control of JES2 or JES3. The writer namecan contain 1 to 8 alphabetic, numeric, or the special characters #, $, or @.For JES3, you can code the DEST=nodename parameter in the outputdescriptor with the WRITER=name parameter. However, do not codeDEST=nodename.userid in the output descriptor with WRITER=name, becauseWRITER=name will override the specification of DEST=nodename.userid.Default values for PRINTDSThe following figure shows a summary of default values for the PRINTDScommand.
