Print function
The Print function enables you to print the following:
- Contents of a data file
- Record layout XREFs created with option 7
- Selection criteria created with option 6
- Record layouts
- Audit trails created when a file is edited in options 2 and 3.6.
The Print function initiates batch print jobs that are executed by File-AID/Batch. The format of the output is controlled by the Batch Parameters described in the File-AID/MVS Product Configuration.
The following figure provides access to the File-AID print functions. To access the Print Menu, select option 5 from the File-AID Primary Option Menu or enter the appropriate jump command (for example, =5) from any File-AID screen. See Selecting Screens.
This menu can be bypassed if you select a suboption (for example, 5.1) or enter a jump command (for example, =5.1). The Print Selection Menu can also be accessed with the F5 recursive command. See Recursive Commands.
