we use IBM PCCOM for CICS print . why do you need to use a PDT? or think you should? IBM pccom is support PDT. you can define in your VTAM several IP LU . and open several pcom on a station where the printer is defined.
after trying to get the same result with HIS & EE i found this is the most esieast way to deploy an IP print.
