One other option I forgot is this. If you have SAS, you can use ODS to create almost any type of file for a non-Mainframe environment.
For example, you can create, Excel format PDF format RTF And so on SAS ODS output is written to a PDS/E and then you can ship with the SAS Email function where you need it to go. Then you can print it on most printers.
