Yes, I'm sending output to RSCS via SNANJE so I don't need the LPD. I can separate the files (JES output components) and assign form names to each. I direct the PS output to a specific RSCS link name via the JES DEST name but it doesn't pick it up as a PS file. >From what I can tell, there's no %!PS command in the file. Does that need to be supplied by the "PREFIX" parm in the LPRXPSE parm?

I am assuming you are sending the z/OS files via an NJE link; so you
would not want or need to setup an LPD link. The LPRXFORM exits
are used to setup form blocks during RSCS initialization, which are
selected via the spool file FORMS. They are not used by the LPRXPSE
exit, so you would not want to code them in a C=LPRXFORM EPARM
statement.

Do each of these files have separate NJE or dataset headers? Can you
change the form on each file? LPRXPSE doesn't handle an imbeded
postscript file in the middle of a plain text file.
