Chapter 14: Printing Data
Reports generated via FileScope are useful for ad hoc end-user reporting needs. They are also helpful as a debugging aid for examining file-related program results.
FileScope enables you to print multiple records, single records and record structures. These services are options from the Service Menu.
Print Multiple Records
The print multiple records layout is similar to the Multi-Record Screen and begins at the current position in the file. The generated output can include up to 198 characters per line.
Select 21 from the Service Menu
If Subset is active, only records which are included in the Subset are printed. You can limit the report to select records by using the PRINT-UNDER-SCAN parameter. You must first enter the scan pattern via the Multi-Record Screen - see Scan.
The report can be submitted to batch with command F19.
