<plug?> We use SPOOLPDF and OPENPDF.
Previous discussions with the vendor (blind copied into this email so he
knows I'm talking about him) revealed a very interesting use of his
product at another company. One company were converting spoolfiles to
PDF and then using reflections escape sequences to automatically open
the resultant PDF files. I don't know whether the company in question
were first FTP'ing the PDF output to a file server and/or whether those
files were being directly accessed via a samba share on the HP3000.
If you want to go down this route, I can - via the vendor - send you my
Cobol PDF wrapper routine that calls the 3rd part software - all you
need to supply is the spoolfile name (either in o2134.out.hpspool format
or as a file name in your local group, that's of course assuming you've
chosen to re-direct the spoolfile to disc first - the advantage of this
latter option is you don't have to search for the spoolfile number).
Vendor is www.openseas.co.uk

Subject: [HP3000-L] Options for viewing reports online
Hi all,
We have several reports that are generated from various
programs running VIEW. There is a request to have the reports printed
to the screen rather than to a printer, so the report data can be
reviewed/modified online before the hard copy is actually printed.
My question is, other than turning off VIEW formatting to
the screen, and writing the report directly to the user's screen rather
than on hard copy, are there any other options I can look at? NOTE:
Crystal Reports is out of the mix due to costing.
One big problem here is that the reports are also formatted
on the page (laser printers), so while I can format a screen to look
like the report, it may be tough for some product to read the PCL
formatting for a report and then, say, publish that report via a WEB
page?
TIA for any help
