Re: Integrator Host Reports

One idea would be to have a parameter on the host report screen to prompt for the desired outputq. You could then use ovrprtf or something similar to place the report where the user wants it. Also, I think I saw some E:Info article about using XA printer override maintenance for custom host prints, but I am not sure how supported that method is or if I really did see it.

Good afternoon.

I have several users that use Host Reports and use the email feature. They may or may not use this feature on a regular basis. When they have the report sent via email the report also prints, which somewhat defeats the purpose. I have many other users that require it to print.

Infor's response is to have it go to a output queue that does not print and to have the users that want it to print to move it to a printer. I do not agree with this approach as that requires the user to know to move the report. When you have users that have access to a multitude of reports it is hard to remember which reports they may need to manually move.

Has anyone found a way around this limitation with Host Reports?

Thank you,
Candy Hein
