JOhn,
I know this was some time ago but I am working on Xe again and I need to do this same process.
In modifying WSJ to pull up the newly archived files I did not see how to use the B9861102 - Print BSFN that normally gets the pdf can get the full name file in the IFS folder. IT only allows JOB# and HOST and this is what is used in the JDEGETPDF call inside so it would not make sense to even copy and modify it.
I can convert the file to ASCII and pull it up using another function by putting in the file location/name but it must already be converted to ASCII to pull up. I did not see that you did this and wanted to be sure you did not find a way to use the existing function by doing some custom mapping or something. Hate to do extra work if I am just missing something.
I know it was a while ago but I am hoping you remember enough to give me the feedback on if you found a way to use the existing BSFN or had to create a custom process like I am starting to do.
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks,

John,
OK so forget the conversion to ASCII part of my last post as I see this is done. And I am able to pull up the files from a network drive so they can be viewed but now I am looking at the "Print Results" row exit and again it appears it uses the job# and Host to get the file to print. So I am still thinking maybe you changed a mapping to point to that under a new Host like ENTPQ or something to keep this working.
My thinking is if they pull up the old pdf they can send it to a printer, but if they wanted it to defualt to the assigned printer for the job it might be an issue.
Just looking fr any feedback on what you might have encountered.
