I am asking this because I do not know the answer and have not tried it... Do you have SAS?
I know it can produce a PDF file, supposedly with ease using ODS. The part I do not know is, can it produce a PDF type file on the host. Worse case, have SAS write it to a directory on a workstation/LAN, I've used SAMBA for the mounting. Then the PDF file would be sitting there ready to do whatever... -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Warner Mach Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can a pdf document be create using COBOL? I have played around with XMITIP and TXT2PDF to some extent. I have also discussed the DATA21 PDF product with one of the representatives of that company. . The problem with the XMITIP system (from our perspective) is that it does not have an 'overlay' feature (which we could really use for W-2s). The problem with the DATA21 product is that the PDF portion requires going to a PC as intermediary; which introduces security problems, along with political issues. . The ideal situation would be an add-on to XMITIP which would provide the free product with overlays and no need to use a PC ... One can dream. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- No virus found in this incoming message.
