Screen print utility

If you need more control and flexibility that you are getting with the IBM screen-print, you need look no further than MacKinney Systems CICS/Hotprint.

CICS/Hotprint replaces and extends the functions of the standard IBM screen-print facility as follows:

• Allows the target printer to be any CICS defined VTAM printer – removing the restriction that the printer must reside on the same controller as the requesting terminal
• Allows online update for the target printer per user using easy online administration panels
• Allows dynamic prompting for the target printer for screen prints of pseudo-conversational task
• Allows target printer to be determined by USERID or NETNAME making for easy support of AUTOINSTALL and session manager virtual terminals
• Maintains original ‘screen look’ by not suppressing blank lines
• Adds a header to screen prints (optional per user) to assist in print distribution
• Allows control of beginning and ending form feed per printer
• Provides an assist popup for identifying target printers to users requesting screen prints
• Interfaces with MacKinney Systems’ eSendIT to allow screen prints to be e-mailed or faxed
• Interfaces with MacKinney Systems’ CICS/Spooler to allow screen prints to be queued in CICS/Spooler for online display and optional printing on CICS or system printers
• Supports 3270 printers with TERMTYP of 3270P, LUTYPE3, and SCSPRTS
   

Hotprint can be invoked

• by pressing a system-defined print PA or PF key
• via a Link from a user-written COBOL or ASSEMBLER application program
