Printing online views

Use one of the following methods:

• Windows mode

  From any windows mode view, use the EXPort command to access a panel that requests an existing data set name (or SYSOUT class) and formatting options.

  ----------------------------- Export Open Data Set ----------------------------
  COMMAND ===>
  LIBRARY (PDS):
     Project        ===>
     Group          ===>
     Type           ===>
     Member         ===>           Replace (Y/N)? YES
  Other partitioned or sequential data set:
     Data Set Name  ===>
     Volume serial  ===>         If not cataloged
  Export Options:
     Disposition    ===> REPLACE Replace or Append if sequential data set
     Output format  ===> ASIS    ASIS or CSV
     Lines/Page     ===> 0       ASIS format only (NNN)
     Sysout Class   ===>         If specified, overrides other data set options
  Press END to save changes and export report.
  Type CANCEL to return to previous panel without saving changes.

  The output of the EXPort command includes all rows of data associated with the view, even data that requires scrolling to be seen online. However, if the logical record length (LRECL) of the data set is less than the width of the view, the view data is truncated on the right.

  You can change the Output format to CSV to write the data rows to a data set in comma-separated format to download for use in a spreadsheet program.

• MainView Explorer

  In MainView Explorer, use the Export icon to write a data snapshot file directly to your computer. You can then print the file by using a spreadsheet or text processing program. The file is also accessible later from the MainView Explorer Viewer. See the MainView Explorer online Help for more information about exporting data.

• MVBATCH utility

  Use the MVBATCH utility to print any view that can be invoked directly from the COMMAND line. For more information about MVBATCH, see Using BMC AMI Ops products.
