Night Report Printer

Each night during backup the system automatically prints some reports. For example, one of the reports is Invoiced Order Edit List (FORLST), and another report is O/E – Order header/Detail Analysis OEANAL. 

 To change the printer that the reports are automatically printed on each night during backup, first find the printer name: go to Software Maintenance / System Printers (Task 22) or use the TAB key on any report screen. Once you have the printer name, go to:

  • Software Maintenance module and specific company # ( if applicable)
    • System Management (Task 32)
      • Modify Parameter Files (Sub-task 22)
        • S/M – General (Selection 1)

Look for the parameter:   INI’NIGHT’PRINTER=    add the printer name.

 

To eliminate the reports from physically printing each night during backup, change the printer name on the parameter to: INI’NIGHT’PRINTER=TRASH

Note: a printer named “TRASH” will need to setup in the System Printers (Software Maintenance, Task 22).    

Also Note: This will only stop the physical printing; the ‘function’ that generates the reports will still run.
