Is it acceptable to convert the data to PDF and e-mail them? How about NJE over TCP/IP, with a node on the PC?

Just to move it up a notch. First, this is for batch reports. The customer already already has a complex print solution, but over the years has converted most of the advanced functions to a PC server based process. That PC server looks like a simple printer and only needs simple CR/LF type date. The have slowly been changing all the printers used by their high-priced z/OS software to just a couple of simple LPR printers and not AFP or PCL based. So, now all they really need is a simple JES2 to printer solution so they can eliminate the high cost software. Although JCL changes will be required, they want to limit it to just the OUTPUT cards. In fact, if they could have just a simple JES2 to FTP plain text function, that would be even cleaner considering their PC software.
