Job Custom Report Designer/Generator

JOBREPORT jobfile [DESIGN]


This program is used both to design custom job reports and to generate the report itself.  For design purposes, it is normally invoked from the right-click menu of a job instance in JOBADMIN.  For generating the report, it is normally invoked on an $end_job_tasks command.

The jobfile parameter must always be a job instance UJP file (JOBnnnnn.UJP).  You cannot start the program by referencing an owner or jobtype UJP file. This requirement ensures that the job property set can have some associated FS files from which data can be extracted. The data is used at design time to preview the design, and the presence of one or more FS files for the job in SENT or FAIL is required before you can use the designer. Use of the DESIGN command-line parameter starts the program in design mode.

Once a custom report has been designed and saved in a .RTM file, this file can then be named on a $custom_report command in system, owner or jobtype properties depending on the range of future jobs for which it is to be used.

Without the DESIGN parameter, JOBREPORT will generate the reports specified in $custom_report command(s) for the job instance on which it  is run.  If the report design includes the specification of a Notification FS Template file, then this file will be used to send a fax or e-mail containing the job report to the destination specified in $notify_fax or $notify_email commands in the UJP file.

A separate help file, accessible from the help menu in JOBREPORT design mode, describes the use of the report designer.
