Using QMF

Restrictions on the document interface

• When printing a report to insert into a document, you cannot use a GDDM printer nickname. The QMF document interface sets a PROFILE value of PRINTER=' ' if you enter QMF through the QMF command interface or interactively using the default initial procedure. When you are running your own initial procedure, make sure that your PROFILE setting contains PRINTER=' '. Or you can specify it on the PRINT command.
• You cannot shorten GETQMF, but you can enter its parameters using minimum unique representation. You only need one character for VM; two for OS/390 (in English). The exception to this is when you specify USEQMF and FILE or USEQMF and DSN instead of a procedure name. In these cases, anything other than FILE in VM or DSN in OS/390 is taken as a procedure name.
• You cannot nest the document interface.
• The ISPF-PDF DEFINE command should not be used to redefine current ISPF-PDF commands.
• No prompt panel or help panel appears with the GETQMF macro because GETQMF is not a QMF command. If QMF uses the default initial procedure, there are help panels for the document interface messages in QMF.

After you install QMF, and it is running successfully, you need to tailor the document interface.
