What I used to do was (for night jobs) was hold up all printing until the
night jobs were over. Then I would SPSAVE them, and COPY them before
printing (the users still wanted the paper). The holding up and SPSAVE
I'll leave to your imagination (they lead to their own problems).
I copied them to 3 letter groups called MON, TUE, WED, etc., in the
prooduction account that had THEIR OWN security. (These groups
represented the night before, so HPDAY 1 was set to "SAT", etc.) It was
these groups the users were allowed access to.
The COPYing part are in the attachments with this message. One was a JOB
that called out an MPEX/3000 syntaxed COMMAND file, (in the COMMAND group
of course.) The other is the COMMAND file itself.
What the COMMAND file does is use MPEX to give the copy FILE NAME the
SPOOL FILE NAME instead of the Onnnn number. (It then brings to mind that
one would have to structure their output so that all their SPOOL FILE
NAMES were all unique, otherwise only the most recent one gets copied.
This made it easier for the users to find the report based upon it's name
(instead of Onnnn).
Bear in mind this dealt with only one production account "VISMFG". It
also had some specfic files not worth copying so I always PURGEd them. You
should get the drift. Feel free to change them according to your needs.
