GLB.ASCPRTHOST
GLB.BACKUP
Note: This System Data item is valid only for MCP based Report logic.
GLB.ASCPRTHOST contains the name of the host computer controlling the GLB.ASCPRT
printer, as specified in the LINC Network Configuration System, and stored in the
LINC/NET file.
This item is available only for MCP based LINC System Reports that use the Report Output
Control System (ROC). For related information, see also the GLB.STN and GLB.ASCPRT
System Data items in this section.
LENGTH = 17 EDIT = A
Note: This System Data item is valid only for MCP based Report logic.
For non-ROC Reports, move Y to GLB.BACKUP to retain Report output directed to TP
devices only (the Report output is retained regardless of the setting of the REMOVE
command). If GLB.BACKUP contains any value other than Y, the Report output is deleted
after printing.
For ROC Direct Reports, move Y to GLB.BACKUP to retain the printer backup file for your
main Report, or move Y to GLB.BACKUPx to retain the printer backup file for a Shadow
Report (where x is the Shadow Report designator). If the System Data item contains any
value other than Y, the printer output backup file is removed after printing.
GLB.BACKUP cannot be used for ROC Standard Reports.
Once output from a Report has been produced, the value of GLB.BACKUP remains until
the next RELEASE; command (or end-of-job), when the most recent change to
GLB.BACKUP is effected.
