|To any old timers out there.
|
|On the S/36 you used to be able to have a parm that said . (Keep) or
|something like that.
|Then the next program in line could have its printed output append to
|the previous.
|This could go on until you had all that you required and then you give
a
|parm of (END) or similar.
|
|Can something like this be done on the AS/400. I have not found
anything
|that looks comparable.
|
|I want to combine more than one report and then turn it into a single
|pdf for e-mail, not multiple attachments.
|
|Any help or just the fact that there are others as old as I am that
|remember some of this stuff.
|
|Thanks
|
