v “Methods of Printing with APU”
v “Manually Associating a Print Definition with a Spooled File”
v “Using the Apply Print Definition Command” on page 82
Methods of Printing with APU
You can use any of three methods to print with APU:
1. Manually associating a print definition with a specific spooled file. For manual
printing, you just “apply” your print definition to a specific spooled file. Refer
to “Manually Associating a Print Definition with a Spooled File”.
2. Using the Apply Print Definition command, which enables you to imbed an
APU printing step within existing application procedures. Refer to “Using the
Apply Print Definition Command” on page 82.
3. Using the APU Monitor to automatically identify the sample spooled file and
run the conversion programs. This method is described in Chapter 6,
“Automatic Printing with APU Monitor” on page 83.
Manually Associating a Print Definition with a Spooled File
This process works as follows. Using your print definition, SUNSD1 or INVOICE,
select option 2 from the APU Main Menu. The Work with Spooled Files panel
appears.
You can display selected output queues and spooled files with this option, and
then apply a print definition to the spooled file for example, INVSCS.
