Though the output format for web reports isn't csv / arx, but more xls, pdf...

in 8.x you have the ability to setup web reports, and schedule them to go out via email....so not via escalation, but timed none the less.

I still use a Run Process  runmacro command with an imbedded report to a .csv file.
Is there anything new coming in ARS 8.1.0 to generate .arx or .csv files from an escalation?

Thank you,

Carol,
I think it really depends on what you need as a "report".

Another method is to use the Notify action to create a file on the server

Carol,

   I create files on my server (Solaris) from a filter by issuing a 'Run Process' action.  The action is something like

echo "$field$" > $File Path$

and then

echo "$field" >> $File Path$

What I'm echoing (the $field$) is a bit more complex than that to account for Carriage Returns.  Once I have the file built, I issue a cmd to the server to zip it along with some attachments and then bring it back into an attachment which is then emailed out.  So while I don't transfer it to a mainframe, the building part may be helpful to you.

Others on the arslist may have some slicker ideas - admittedly, mine is a bit crude.

Thanks Joel, but how do I use a filter to create a report and save it to a file?  That's the part I'm missing.

Thanks.
