Send the Output of a PeopleSoft Job to a Printer

You can define a PeopleSoft job to run a process and send the output to a printer.

To send the output of a PeopleSoft job to a printer

1. Add the OUTDESTTYPE statement to the job definition. Specify PRINTER.
2. (Optional) Add the OUTDESTPATH statement to override the default PeopleSoft printer. Specify the network location of the printer including the printer server and shared printer name.

   Note: The specified printer must be set up on the PeopleSoft system.

Example: Send a Job's Output to a Specified Printer

This example runs an SQR Report. The report is formatted as PS and outputted to a printer.

AGENT PS_NY

OUTDESTFORMAT PS
OUTDESTPATH '\\CA\PRINTER1'

SERVERNAME PSPR
OUTDESTTYPE PRINTER
OUTDESTFORMAT PS
RUNCONTROLID printtest
PSOPRID VP1
