IBM OS/390 Manual Do Utilizador

The PSETUP function is not supported in JES2. See 10.1.1.4, “Printer Forms
Alignment via PSETUP” on page 208 for some alternatives.

The IBM provided separator pages are different with JES2. See 10.1.1.5,
“Separator Page Difference” on page 208 for more information.

JES2 does not support end-of-page sensing. See 10.1.1.6, “End-of-page Sensing”
on page 209 for more information.

Conditional processing of output groups can be specified separately for normal
and abnormal job termination. Use the // OUTPUT OUTDISP= statement with the
same terms familiar to the VSE user (WRITE, HOLD, KEEP, LEAVE, PURGE). It
can also be specified in JES2 initialization parameters on a job class or output
class basis.

Both POWER and JES2 use eight-character FCB (Forms Control Buffer) names.
Both also use four-character prefixes dependent on the printer device type.
However, the prefixes are not similar, and the way they are specified is different.

The four-character prefix of the FCB name is based on the device type and
differs between POWER and OS/390.
