Printing Mission Specification

The subject of printing missions is covered in detail in Phase 4, and it is during that phase that you will learn how to design your printing missions. One topic included in Phase 4, however, is important to us now. In Phase 4, we give recommendations for printing mission naming standards. For now, we recommend that you read about printing mission naming standards in Phase 4, and decide on your printing mission names, so that they can be specified in your report decollating mission definitions.

Note: Printing mission naming standards are discussed in Phase 4.

Printing mission names are specified in the report decollating mission definition in the DO PRINT statement, as indicated in the example below:

  ON CLASS      = T         EXTWTR               DEST          FORM           

  PRT COPIES    LVL    USER                      DEST          MAX COPIES     

      PRINT/CDAM PARMS =                                                      

  WHEN LINE       -       COL       -       PRINT   REF NXT   CT     AND/OR

       STRING =                                                               

    DO USER     = *                     LVL    LINE 006 COL 016 - 019 S   T   

                                        SYNONYM =       CONCAT =              

    DO NAME     = *-FOR-                       LINE 003 COL 035 - 043         

    DO NAME     = *P+*                         LINE 006 COL 016 - 019         

    DO PRINT    = STD                                   MUST   =              

    DO                                                                        

In the above example, when the printing mission STD is run (if bundling for these users), the report will be selected for printing. The report will not be printed twice. If you only want to view reports online, no DO PRINT statement is required.
