Re: Print Option from Mainframe to Microsoft Note
Jake, Arthur's example is for calling the transform by itself, without using a Printway printer definition. You are correct that you do have to have the separate FMID for the transform installed.There is an older Infoprint Transforms product (afp2pdf) which is no longer marketed by IBM, but which can also be used if you already have it. Could you use another transform, like txt2pdf, from a printer definition? Good question. I don't know. I've never tried that. --Roger On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 12:36 AM, Jake anderson justmainfra...@gmail.comwrote: Unfortunately AFP related FMID is not installed due to which my progress is stalled.

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. -- Joel C.
