Printing a New Page When Calling a Fragment

Tweet

 

This trick was originally posted here by Jim Prandi @ CRH Consulting.

I think Jim is saying to use the following code, when you want a fragment to print more than just detail; but a whole new page.

For CS:
^@Pgm.trans(%LAB.M.SPEC.zcus.mm.get.micro.results.RP)^@Z.rpt.new.page.pgm,
@CALL.REPORT.FRAGMENT,
^@Pgm.trans(%PHA.RX.zcus.mm.test.loc.RP)^@Z.rpt.new.page.pgm;

For MAGIC:
%LAB.M.SPEC.zcus.mm.get.micro.results.RP^@Z.rpt.new.page.pgm,
@CALL.REPORT.FRAGMENT,
%PHA.RX.zcus.mm.test.loc.RP^@Z.rpt.new.page.pgm;

A friend of mine was showing me a PHA Big Board and had a need to:

- have the report run continuously as a status board
- print PHA orders to the screen every few minutes
- print a fragment to a physical printer

We couldn't get the printer to switch in the fragment; next time we look at the PHA Big Board, we'll have to see if this resolves that issue.
