The :RUN command has several forms, in all instances the security level is ODT.
Report Output Device
The Report default output device is overridden by entering one of the device values as described in the following table:
| Device value | Description |
|---|---|
| LP | Line Printer |
| RP | Remote Printer |
| TP | Terminal Printer |
| VD | Video |
| EX | Extract File (output as flat file, ROC only) |
| DP | Enterprise Output Manager Reports |
If TP is entered, and Glb.Stn does not contain a printer name, the Report will prompt you for a Printer name.
:RUN GLI
Initiates the Generalized Interface (GLI), which is run as a Report. Security level is ODT.
Only one copy of GLI might be active.
The :RUN GLI command has the form:
:RUN GLI
Refer to Diagnostic and Management Utilities and Interfacing to Other Applications for more information on GLI.
:RUN OFFLINE
Initiates the OFFLINE input program NGEN28/OFF, which is run as a Report. Multiple copies of the OFFLINE program might be active simultaneously. Security level is ODT.
The :RUN OFFLINE command has the form:
:RUN OFFLINE
Refer to Interfacing to Other Applications for more information on the OFFLINE Input Interface method.
:RUN Report
Initiates the named report.
The :RUN report command has the form:
:RUN report [device] [LA language] [PA parameter]
Where:
report is the name of the Report to be run.
device is the output device type. The Report default output device is overridden by entering one of the device values (LP, RP, TP, VD, EX, DP).
Including LA language gives initial language name for the Report. For a single language Report, this language is ignored. For Reports built in multiple languages, if the language is invalid or has not been specified, the Report defaults to the station language.
Including PA parameter enables you to pass a literal string (maximum 254 characters) to the Report. (The Report must have the receiving parameter attribute specified on the Report Options screen, prior to being built, otherwise the parameter is ignored.)
The PA parameter option is equivalent to using the TASKSTRING option when running a Report using RIP. Refer to Passing a Parameter to Batch and Standalone Reports.
You cannot use this command to initiate a Standalone Report. Refer to Standalone Reports for more information.
You can only run 500 Reports simultaneously.
:RUN Report RECOVER
Initiates a recovery of the named report. The key of the recovery information must be specified. This can be displayed by using the :REP RECOVER command. Security level is ODT.
The :RUN report RECOVER command has the form:
:RUN report RECOVER key [device]
Where:
report is the name of the Report to be run.
key is the key number for the required Report.
device is the output device type. The Report default output device is overridden by entering one of the device values (LP, RP, TP, VD, EX, DP).
You cannot use this command to initiate recovery of a Standalone Report (although :REP RECOVER does also display Standalone Reports). Refer to Recovery of Standalone Reports in Standalone Reports for more information.
You can only run 500 Reports simultaneously.
