Submitting the print job

File-AID executes a print request only through a batch job. The PRINT - JCL Specification screen (see the following figure) is displayed to let you set your output class and JOB parameters.

From the PRINT - JCL Specification screen, you can invoke several processing commands, including:

JCL

Generates and displays the JCL so you can edit it before you submit it. While editing the JCL you can use the Edit commands CREATE, REPLACE or SUBMIT to save or submit your Print JCL.

SUBMIT

Generates the JCL and processes your print request.

END

Returns to the Print Data File screen without submitting the job.

Steps:

1. Type SUBMIT in the COMMAND field to generate and submit the JCL to perform your print request.
2. Verify your JOB parameters and Sysout class. Use a hold class so that you can browse your report online.
3. Press Enter. File-AID processes your print request. You can see the results of your print request online as illustrated in Print Data File Result (Formatted Output, Show Offset).
