     Specifies the position of the sysout class to which you want the printer routed.

   • Number of copies

     Specifies the number of copies that you want printed.

   • (Optional) Define print destination

     Specifies the printer you want to use. Select one of the following options:

     • Destination printer

       Specifies the printer ID of the local or remote printer to which you want the print job routed.

     • External JES node

       Specifies the external node name of the JES subsystem to which you want the print job routed.

     • Sysout writer name

       Specifies the member name of the sysout writer program to which you want the print job routed.
