3.2.6 Monthly Printed Output Trend Report

The Monthly Printed Output Trend Report produces a vertical
bar chart by SYSID and zone of the number of print records
during a specified period of months.  The reported print
activity depends on the amount of summarized spool activity
held in the database.

INTENDED USE:

The report provides a way of analyzing printer use to improve
resource availability.  In addition, printer capacity can be
monitored, and projections for future capacity can be
estimated.

REPORT FORMAT:

The inquiry produces a vertical bar chart for each SYSID, in
which each bar represents the number of records printed
during the indicated zone.

A sample report is shown in Figure 3-11.
