Natural sessions under TSO can store reports on the spool file.
To do so, specify
FSPOOL=(nnnnn,fffff)
and the printers to be used by Natural Advanced Facilities with either the
NTPRINT macro or the PRINT
parameter (see the Natural Parameter Reference
documentation).
The reports can subsequently be routed by the operator to remote terminal printers.
Since the NATSPOOL spool server under CICS or IMS/TM is not
started by TSO, one of the SYSPOOL start functions (see
Function 10 and
Function 11) must be executed
from within a Natural session under CICS or IMS/TM. This means that in general,
reports created under TSO are not printed automatically on CICS or IMS/TM
terminal printers. However, if the spool server is already active, reports that
are created under TSO are also printed if they have the same Destination/Form
as the report which has ONPR status.
In order to use NATSPOOL under TSO, the
NATSPOOL nucleus NAFNUC must be link-edited to the
Natural/TSO module.
The TSO user ID is taken as the Sending User ID.
If the spool file is an Adabas file, NATSPOOL can be
invoked under CICS or IMS/TM and under TSO concurrently.
