Long answer understanding more possibilities We have recurring problems with where we want printouts to go since we have users in multiple facilities, multiple printers, some users who work some days of week one office other days of week another office, many people creating query/400 & I have had some clarification from various sources, mainly IBM classes, of stuff that was not clear to me earler & from this I derived a big picture on where we can control where we want reports to go. Here is cut & paste from what is relevant to our situation but hopefully much also helpful to you. Introduction & Abstract 1 System values are our starting point. 1 Device rules can override System Values. 2 PC printers emulating 400 printers 2 Font Control 2 Work station address rules can override Device rules. 3 User sign-on rules can override Work station rules. 3 Same user @ multiple sites = modification idea. 3 Job Description rules can override User profile rules. 4 IBM 4247 which drawer convenience 4 Printer Device File & Query can override Job Description. 5 Special Forms like JT05 5 Query/400 5 OUTQ defaults 5 CL program off of Menu can override the above. 5 User at WRKSPLF can change rules before releasing to print a particular report. 6 Summary of important lessons from Al at IBM school: 6 Well I tried to send the whole thing but AOL cannot process my e-mail so I suspect it is over the limit for midrange_L also, so I will break it into smaller installments to send just to you. System Values set the rules unless something overrides them. Device rules can override System Values. Work station address rules can override Device rules. User sign-on rules can override Work station rules. Job Description rules can override User profile rules. Printer Device File & Query can override Job Description. CL program off of Menu can override the above.
