Expand description
The virtual printer. In a run given DD PRINTER, a CALL of SYSTEM or C$SYSTEM whose command prints files with lp or lpr appends those files to that DD, and nothing runs on the host. Each file the command names is a DD, as an ASSIGN literal names one, so the run still reaches only the files the operator gave it.
