Dear Ed/All,
Though I have implemented Infoprint Server Printway but I have not used
XMITIP tool. XMITIP at http://www.lbdsoftware.com/xmitip.html says at the
4th point as "convert files to PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format)
readable using Acrobat" and was little confused about this statement.
Does it mean it converts the PDS member into a PDF format in Z/OS itself
and then it attaches with email ?

Went thru various incantations. XMITIP with PDF conversion, BETA93 report

Yes. The TXT2PDF conversion program (which runs on z/OS) is a
separately downloadable application (a mix of REXX and Assembler), and
XMITIP has explicit support to interface with it to convert a text file
to PDF format based on defaults or on parameters which XMITIP passes to
TXT2PDF, and then attach the resulting pdf document to an email. Text
in FB, FBA, VB, VBA, etc. formats of varied widths are supported, and
PDF documents in portrait or landscape orientation of user specified
sizes are supported, with specific support provided for converting
"greenbar" mainframe printed reports into PDF documents complete with
the faint bar overlays. The pdf text data source can either be a
Physical Sequential dataset, or a member of a PDS.
The TXT2PDF program can also be used apart from XMITIP if you want to
save a PDF form of a text document on z/OS.
