This Natural profile parameter presets the hardcopy output destination
for the terminal command %H (without the
destination operand).
HCDEST=xxx is equivalent to the
DEST subparameter of the profile parameter
PRINT for Print
File 0, that is,
PRINT=((0),DEST=xxx).
| Possible settings | 1 to 8 characters | Valid hardcopy output destination. |

| Default setting | blank | 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 dataset
CMHCOPY.

| Dynamic specification | yes | |
| Specification within session | yes |
The hardcopy output destination can be overwritten during the
session by specifying |
If you are running Natural under TSO or in batch mode, the dataset must be defined in the JCL or by dynamic allocation.
Under TSO, the hardcopy dataset specified by
HCDEST is closed after %H at
the next terminal I/O. The default CMHCOPY dataset is closed not
at terminal I/O, but at session termination.
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.
