The high-pT trigger associated distributions in p + p collisions at v s(bar sign)=200 GeV are analyzed. It is shown that, despite the general expectation, the associated distributions as a function of 'scaled' variables xE or pTa/pTt have almost no sensitivity to the shape of the fragmentation function. It is discussed that the slope of xE and/or PTa/pTt distributions rather reflects the final state parton spectra.
