SECTION V
PRINT REPORTS FROM THE WORK SPOOL FILE
Once a report has been requested, it runs in job queue (WRKSBMJOB). Once the job
goes into the out queue, you can view it from the work spool file window (WRKSPLF).
Within the Work with all Spooled Files window, you can print, display, or delete your
reports.
Many times, you may run a report and you cannot see it immediately in the ‘Work with
all Spooled Files’ window. If the job cannot be viewed immediately in the spool file, you
can verify that the job has been submitted to the job queue by using the ‘Work with
Submitted Jobs’ window. (Go to page 6)
From any command line in KRONOS, type WRKSPLF. [ENTER]
Type WRKSPLF on
the command line.
[ENTER]
The AS/400 ‘Work with All Spooled Files’ window will appear.
