257.2 Print test file[//]

If you select this option a survey screen will be displayed showing all the final print files. This screen is identical to the screen displayed in AFO 253 (Process final print file).

Select type of print job (+): - select a type of print job and use this option to start printing it.

All types: - use this option to start printing for all the types.

Normal procedure: - this option is used to test print for several sorts of print jobs. Which print jobs these are depends on a parameter. This parameter cannot be defined interactively; you need to contact the Geac helpdesk. This parameter is normally defined so that this option works in the same way as the ‘All types' option.

Interrupt task: - with this option you go back to the previous screen without a process having been started. This option is not really relevant any more but it was originally included in the system for slow machines so that a process that had been started by mistake could be interrupted and stopped. (A batch job on a slow machine could seriously undermine the performance of the machine.)

When you have given the command to generate a temporary print file for one, several or all print jobs, the system switches to the standard output procedure.
