System printer and Report Scheduler
96 BCMS Operations
Printing reports on the system printer
To print a report on the system printer:
1. Execute a command with the schedule qualifier.
The first screen of Report Scheduler is displayed. It indicates that the print interval is
immediate.
2. Either:
● Press ENTER to print the report (immediately) on the system printer, or
● Enter scheduled or deferred. Press ENTER.
Note:
Note: If you are using a PC running the 513 terminal emulation package, your
keyboard will not have an ENTER key. You must map a function key to serve
in this capacity. Pressing RETURN will not achieve the correct results.
When the print interval is changed to scheduled or deferred, the Print Time and
the days of the week fields are displayed.
3. Enter the print time and press ENTER. The cursor is now on the days of the week field.
For those days that you want to print the report, enter a y.
4. Press ENTER to execute the command. The system responds with a prompt for the
next command.
Print Time This field is displayed only when the Print Interval is set to deferred or
scheduled. Within a given hour, reports may be scheduled at 15-minute
intervals (that is, xx:00, xx:15, xx:30, or xx:45).
The system printer requires significant switch processor resources. It is
important that the reports be scheduled for off-peak hours. The reports
should not all be scheduled for the same hour and time interval, but
should be staggered across multiple off-peak time intervals. If, because of
printing volume or other problems, a report is not printed within four hours
of its scheduled time interval, it will not be printed until its next scheduled
time interval. Immediate and deferred jobs would be removed from Report
Scheduler under this scenario and would require that you reschedule
them.
Days of
Week
For each day of the week that the report is to be printed, enter y (yes).
Alternatively, enter n (no) for those days when the report should not be
printed. Selecting an n for all seven days of the week will effectively
disable a report from being printed. Days are defaulted to n.
