The Dynamic Report System (DRS) provides an effective means of
routing reports from batch jobs, online applications (i.e., CICS, IMS,
IDMS, etc.), Local Area Networks, and remote TCP/IP hosts to the JES
spool, to a DASD file on the MVS host system, or to a UNIX HFS file.
The reports are standard SYSOUT, DASD, or HFS datasets. They can be
fixed, variable, or undefined format, blocked or unblocked. They can
have ASA, machine, or no carriage control. SYSOUT datasets can have
standard JES dataset attributes, such as class,
destination, form name, writer name, FCB, UCS, hold/nohold, copies, etc.
In addition, AFP attributes (e.g., PAGEDEF, FORMDEF, etc.) can be assigned to the
SYSOUT reports by referencing OUTPUT JCL statements.
Enterprise printing can be complicated if you have a mix of platforms, multiple Windows print servers, multiple datastreams, various user interfaces, and so on. InfoPrint Manager provides centralized, web-based control of printers, print queues and print jobs located anywhere on your network, enabling monitoring and management from a single point. Using a Java™ or web-based graphical user interface (GUI), you can manage a single sheet-fed device, a fleet of continuous-feed devices or a mix of multi-vendor office and production devices in z/OS, UNIX, Linux, AIX, Windows and Mac environments.
