2. Add the condition that triggers the printing mission as follows:

   Note: The conditions that are displayed on the screen provide sufficient information to identify the mission to be triggered. For example, the suffix of the condition is STD, which stands for the form on which you are about to print. The condition to add is OP-START-PRINT-STD.

   1. Position the cursor in the OPT field, to the left of the selected condition.
   2. Type A and press Enter.

   The following message appears on the first line of the screen.

   CTM567I COND OP-START-PRINT-STD ODATE date ADDED

   Now that the condition has been added, you can track the printing mission in the Active Missions Environment screen.

3. From the COMMAND field, type =A and press Enter. The Control-D/V Active Missions Environment screen is displayed.
4. Use the FIND command to find the printing mission in the list of missions, shown in the Active Missions Environment screen as follows:
   1. Type F STD in the COMMAND field and press Enter. The cursor moves to the line including this mission, and the STD mission name is highlighted.
   2. Position the cursor in the OPT field, to the left of the STD printing mission.
   3. Type P and press Enter. The Print Control screen is displayed.

   You can see the list of reports (bundles) that are in the print queue, and the exact report that is currently being printed (if the printing mission started to print). You can also control the printing process. For additional information about the Printing Control screen, refer to Chapter 2 of the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

5. Press PF03/PF15 to exit the Print Control screen.
6. The status of the printing mission changes during processing, reflecting the stage it has reached.

   Periodically press Enter to display the updated current status of the mission. When the status indicates that the mission is PRINTING ON a specific printer, you can view the output bundle on spool. When the bundle finishes printing, the status of the printing mission changes to ENDED OK.  

7. You can now examine the printed bundle and notice the banners, index, and so on. Banners and indexes can be modified to suit your specific requirements. If there are banners that you do not want to produce (for example, banners between reports), they can be eliminated. More information about banner tailoring and printing is in Preparing for Production.
