RE: BPCS documentation

[Dennis Munro <DMunro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried to print it and it will print it but all the formatting the
document would normally have is not recognized by SEU's print engine.  It's
legible but not very "pretty" to look at plus the strange formatting codes
the print program does not print are all printed.

Using client access is a means to get it to my P/C but the formatting still
is not something a P/C printer will recognize.  

That is why I was looking for the "correct" program to read these "members"
and correctly print their contents.

        Two ideas come to mind. I am based on 405CD, but it sounds like the
help text is
        similar.

        STRSEU SRCFILE(libname/filename) SRCMBR(membername) OPTION(6)
        That will print, option(5) will display.

        For downloading, if you have Client Access' download utility, you
can specify a
        member name when downloading a file.  You can download to screen or
to file or
        even to a printer.
