Figure 5-11.  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:

o  The default color graphics format set for color graphics
   inquiry steps that do not override color graphics format
   parameters.

o  Color graphics device parameters.

o  Report page size.  Page size normally defaults to 80
   columns by 23 lines for easy online report review.

o  SAS execution parameters such as SAS log content, whether
   to abend when errors are detected, the number of sort work
   data sets to allocate, and other SAS execution parameters.

o  MICF Web Publishing options, such as the style template
   and aging, pagination, and character translation options.

o  Q&R Integration options that control writing the MICF
   inquiry output to the HFS/zFS directory for use by the Q&R
   Workstation, which lets you publish report and chart
   output to your corporate intranet.

o  Whether you choose to use the Q&R directory structure or
   continue to have RMWSLOAD read the corresponding DTF
   Index, you can have your reporting job stream
   automatically notify the Q&R mainframe server that
   the job stream has completed.  The mainframe server then
   notifies the distributed server to begin executing the
   RMWSLOAD job that corresponds to the name defined in the
   Execution Options panel for this job stream.

There are two execution options data entry panels.  The
Execution Options panel is displayed first.  Use this panel
to specify color graphics device, color graphics format set,
SAS execution options, and MICF Web Publishing options.
Note that this is a scrollable panel, and not all options
may appear at once. Use the scroll keys to view all options.

Enter a Y following the Override Device Parms prompt to
display the Color Graphics Device Parameters panel.

MICF color graphics outputs are saved in a device-independent
format, so that your replay options are not limited to the
color graphics device you specify here.  You will get the
best results if you specify the color graphics device that
will be used most often for online graphics review.

If you plan to also generate hardcopy color graphics outputs,
either during inquiry execution or by "printing" cataloged
outputs, you should specify color graphics parameters that
are also compatible with your hardcopy graphics device.  This
is especially critical if you plan to use either a laser
printer or a pen plotter for hardcopy outputs.  In this
situation, you should select a color graphics format set
similar to the distributed PENPLOT format set.  This allows
the MICF color graphics to be hashed rather than filled
patterns so the graphics are usable both online and in
hardcopy format on either a pen plotter or a black and white
laser printer.

You can reset previously specified execution options by
entering the RESTORE command on the Execution Options panel.
MICF will clear your execution option overrides and redisplay
the Execution and Hardcopy Output Options menu.
