Use this program to create and maintain records in the job stream file. A job stream file allows you to set up a series of reports to run automatically.
The Job Stream Entry screen consists of the header portion, where you enter general information such as job stream code, description and date last run and the line-item portion, where you enter each program that you want to run in the job stream as well as printing specifications, such as number of pages, number of copies, etc.
The entry program displays the following questions about the programs you set to run:
Once you’ve answered these questions, proceed to the fields for each program.
Click Field Descriptions for information on each field.
Job Stream incorporates Report Templates. When setting up a Job Stream for a report that supports templates, you first need to setup and save the template by going directly to the report. Then when you enter the report program in Job Stream Entry, the template selection window will be presented, and you select the appropriate template.
For reports that do not yet support templates, you will enter the Job Stream according to the existing procedures.
Run the Job Stream Listing program to generate a list of entered job streams. Job streams are executed from the Job Stream Run program and results of those job streams are available by running the Job Stream Results Print program.
