Printing Orders

Here are a few notes on printing:

  • Output can be sent to a printer or an out queue (OUTQ).
  • If the OUTQ is attached to an actual printer or print device, a hard copy is produced.
    • Printer and form codes are specified on page 3 of the User Web Control Panel File Maintenance (NAV 5 option Y).
  • If an OUTQ that is not connected to a printer is used, the report can be accessed in one of the following locations:
    • The ODS link in the upper right-hand corner.
    • Under the user's OUTQ that started the Print Order job (labeled PRTORDCL under subsystem QBATCH) (via SYS 502). Follow these steps to check:
      • On the iSERIES machine, issue the command WRKACTJOB.
      • Locate the print order job that is running under subsystem QBATCH. These jobs are identified as CMD-PRTORDCL and listed under the Function heading.
      • Place a "5" beside the job labeled "ODES12PRD" and press Enter.
      • Select option "4" to view the spooled files associated with this job.
