Set up

To successfully set up a report for output using the CA View external print interface, you must do the following:

• Ensure that the CA Deliver report is non-bundled.

  Note: A non-bundled report is a report that contains no report identifier in any definition of a bundle of reports.

  For more information about non-bundled reports, see the chapter "Creating a Bundle of Reports."

• Enter Y under Out on the Report Definition Attributes panel to create printed output (rather than view only output) for recipients of the report.
• Use the direct-to-View archival feature to archive the report to
  CA View.

  For more information, see the ‘Archiving and Reprinting Reports’ chapter.

• In the Dest field on the Distribution Specifications subpanel, identify the software product to which the report is to be output, and identify the external print interface to be used (JES data set or dynamic program call).

  Note: The CA View external print interface is described in the CA View Reference Guide.
