Figure 5-11.  Execution Options

MICF production reporting job stream execution options
 default to the values that you specify in Shared MICF Options,
 Foreground Execution Parameters.
 
 You may prefer to specify this extended option to "lock" your
 production reporting job execution options, 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 typically 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 the report and the 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:  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 can obtain the
 best results if you specify the color graphics device that
 you use most often for online graphics review.
 
 If you plan to generate hardcopy color graphics output,
 either during the inquiry execution or by "printing"
 cataloged output, specify color graphics parameters that are
 also compatible with your hardcopy graphics device.
 Specifying these graphics parameters are is especially
 critical if you plan to use either a laser printer or a pen
 plotter for hardcopy outputs.  In this situation, select a
 color graphics format set similar to the distributed PENPLOT
 format set.  This setting 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.
