# HCDEST - Hardcopy Output Destination

This Natural profile parameter presets the hardcopy output destination for the terminal command `%H` (without the `destination` operand).

Possible settings | 1 - 8 characters | Valid hardcopy output destination.
blank
Default setting | blank | Note In some environments, a default destination may be supplied by the operating system or TP monitor. If `HCAM``=STD` is assigned for hardcopy, the default hardcopy output destination is the data set `CMHCOPY`.
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | yes | Note The hardcopy output destination can be overwritten during the session by specifying `%Hdestination`; see also the terminal command `%H`.

Notes:

1. `HCDEST=value` is equivalent to the `DEST` subparameter of the profile parameter `PRINT` for Print File 0, that is, `PRINT=((0),DEST=value)`.
2. If you are running Natural under TSO or in batch mode, the data set must be defined in the JCL or by dynamic allocation.
3. Under TSO, the hardcopy data set specified by `HCDEST` is closed after `%H` at the next terminal I/O. The default `CMHCOPY` data set is closed not at terminal I/O, but at session termination.
4. The hardcopy output access method can be specified by profile parameter `HCAM` or by the `DEST` subparameter of profile parameter `PRINT` for Printer 0. More specifications for the hardcopy output file can be made using the profile parameter `PRINT` or the macro `NTPRINT` for Printer 0.
