formServicePgmType

The formServicePgmType build descriptor option specifies the type of print services programs to generate for IMS™ BMP or z/OS® batch. You can specify one or more entries. When specifying multiple entries, use a comma between the entries, for example:
  GSAM,SEQ,MFS

Values

ALL (the default value)
Generate all the mapping services programs that apply to the target system, for example:
  • GSAM, MFS, and SEQ is generated for IMS BMP
  • GSAM and SEQ is generate for z/OS batch
If you specify ALL with any other entry, the effect is the same as only specifying ALL.
SEQ
Generate a batch mapping services program that supports writing to a printer or to a QSAM file. This value is valid for z/OS batch or IMS BMP.

This is the default value for z/OS batch.

GSAM
Generate a batch mapping services program that supports writing to a GSAM file. This value is valid for z/OS batch or IMS BMP.
MFS
Generate a message format service (MFS) print mapping services program and the MFS source definitions. If the form group contains text forms, also generate a form group format module, as well as the COBOL copybooks for MFS. This value is valid only for IMS BMP.
