Printer Information

When you submit a UBE from batch versions to a server, a data structure that contains the printer information is passed to the batch engine. Printer information is stored as a binary large object (BLOB) in the Job Control Status Master (F986110) table.

When batch jobs are submitted using report interconnects, the printer definition for the child report is inherited from the parent report. The values that are inherited are:

  • Printer name

    Unless the child report specification has a printer name or uses the system function to override the printer name.

  • Print immediate

  • Save Printer Definition Language file

  • Paper type

    Unless the child report specification has a custom override.

  • Printer settings

  • Number of copies

  • Paper source

  • OSA

Export to CSV is not an inherited functionality. If the child report has a printer name defined in its specifications or a custom paper type defined, then these properties override the inherited values.
