Figure 5-10.  Execution and Hardcopy Output Options


Execution and Hardcopy Output Options give you access to
three facilities for customizing MICF production reporting.
You can override default SAS/CA MICS execution options,
including default color graphics device parameters.  You can
optionally generate hardcopy reports, MICSLOG, and SAS logs,
and color graphics while still saving inquiry outputs for
later online review.  You can also use this option to
generate a hardcopy log of inquiry execution errors.

The Execution and Hardcopy Output Options menu displays a
textual status flag to the right of each menu option to
indicate the option's current status.  A blank means the
option is NOT active and default parameters are still in
effect.

The options provided on the Execution and Hardcopy Output
Options menu are described in the following sections and are
summarized below.

    1 - Execution Options

        Use this option to override default execution
        options.  MICF production reporting job stream
        execution options default to the values you specify
        in Shared MICF Options, Foreground Execution
        Parameters.

        You may prefer to specify this extended option to
        "lock" your production job execution options, thereby
        avoiding the risk of shared options changes impacting
        your production reporting.  You can specify default
        color graphics format set for color graphics inquiry
        steps that do not override color graphics format
        parameters.  You can also specify color graphics
        device parameters and SAS execution parameters.

    2 - Hardcopy Reports and Logs

        Use this option to generate hardcopy reports and
        MICSLOG and SAS log in addition to saving inquiry
        outputs for later online review.  You can direct MICF
        reports and logs to SYSOUT for capture by your
        data center's report management facility (for
        example, CA Bundl).

        You can instruct MICF to copy ALL printed reports to
        JES SYSOUT.  ALL printed reports are still available
        for online review through the MICF Reports and
        Graphics option.

        You can instruct MICF to copy just the MICSLOG
        output from ALL inquiries, just the SAS log output
        from ALL inquiries, or both the MICSLOG and SAS log
        for all inquiries to the JES SYSOUT you define.  ALL
        MICSLOG and SAS log listings are still available for
        online review through MICF Reports and Graphics.

        Or you can generate a hardcopy error log.  When an
        inquiry execution error occurs, MICF will copy the
        failing inquiry's MICSLOG and SAS log to JES SYSOUT.
        The hardcopy error log will be empty when all
        inquiries execute successfully.

    3 - Hardcopy Color Graphics

        Use this option to request hardcopy color graphics
        outputs in addition to saving inquiry outputs for
        later online review.

        This option lets you execute and save MICF inquiry
        color graphics using color graphics device parameters
        that are best for online color graphics review.  Then
        you define a unique, hardcopy color graphics device
        to which MICF will copy ALL color graphics output.
