This structure is used for several purposes:
If stored in table PRT, one row in this table defines for one subject (USR, USG, …) and one technical form (TEF) which printer and bins are to be used. Fields JOBNAM, HEATXT and CPYCNT are not used in the configuration context.
For services (e.g.SRVPRT) default entries entered and used using the PRT structure but the relevant fields are currently stored in the .INI file for the manager. The fields JOBNAM, HEATXT and CPYCNT are not used for this purpose.
Within the printing process the PRTrecord is used to determine the relevant printer information and to complete the information required for printing by adding values for HEATXT, JOBNAM and CPYCNT from other sources.

INR
Unique internal ID of a record within the table. The INR is a text field, which is created by retrieving the next valid entry from the counter PRT. The field INR is used to maintain links from other tables into this table.
Unique internal ID of a record within the table. The INR is a text field, which is created by retrieving the next valid entry from the counter of this table. The field INR is used to enable links from other tables to this table.
For contractdata the INR also links the two tables xxD and xxT as associated entries hold the same INR.
Type of object the config. entry refers to. Usually this is the table the object is associated to. Used values are USR User USG User Group ETY Entity
For printer configuration entries that are stored in an .INI file (e.g. default values for managers) this field is empty.
Type of object the configuration entry refers to. This is usually the table the object is associated to.
INR of the object within the table, defined in OBJTYP.
INR of the object within the table, defined in the Object Type field.
This field defines the technical form the printer configuration of this entry is valid for. The valid values are defined in the embedded codetable in APF:TEF.
Specifies the type of paper used.
Header text to be optionally used within documents to be printed. This text might hold '$xxx' using a existing code of the codetable HEATXT for translatable header texts.
The resulting content of this field replaces the 'print context' variable when a document is actually generated.

This field defines where to start to search for a print configuration to be used. The default search sequence is user, usergroup, entity, default.
This field defines how the printer configuration should be determined. “Here” = dedicated printer as configured in the current context “Entity” = printer as configured for the entity “User” = printer as configured for the user “User Group” = printer as configured for the user group of the user

Name of printer to be used.
This field contains the list of printers accessible from “here” or as defined for the “entity” address and/or for the “user” or the “user group”.
Name of paperbin which shall be used.
This field identifies the paper tray in the selected printer for the first page of a print run.
Name of paperbin which shall be used for the second and all following pages.
This field identifies the paper tray in the selected printer for the second page of a print run.
Number of copies to be printed.
Number of copies to be printed.
The technical form (type of paper) on which the application form is to be printed.
