Issue/Introduction
Is there a way to print the various data list displays available in Solve and NetMaster products without having to cut and paste?
Environment
Component:
Resolution
Within Netmaster it is possible to extract the data from list either in print format, or for specific lists also in comma delimited format.
PRINT FORMAT
Most data list displays available in Solve and NetMaster products can be printed directly without having to cut and paste while paging through the list by using command ?PRINT entered while the list is displayed.
NOTE: Please see Additional Information for full syntax
As an example, let's say you're viewing a rather lengthy Connection List generated from the NetMaster TCPIP /CONNC panel as shown below, and a printout of the list was requested by support:
NETM1---------------------- TCP/IP : Connections ----------------Stack: TCPIP
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Line 1 of 123 Refresh Every ... ___ Seconds
S=View I=Information CS=Statistics PT=Packet Trace Z=Drop ?=Actions
Foreign Local
Host Port Host LPort TaskName Status Idle
__ 192.168.100.1 6715 192.168.100.3 16088 FRED CLOSEWAIT 5:08:32

__ 192.168.1.1 14822 192.168.1.8 31696 SALLY CLOSEWAIT 0:00:23

Rather than cut, paste, page down, cut, paste, page down and so on, you can simply enter ?PRINT on the command line! The Printer Confirmation panel will be displayed:
NETM1---------------------- PSM : Confirm Printer ----------------------------- Command ===> Printer Name ..+ $PSEMAIL Copies ......... 1 (Range 1 to 255) Hold? .......... NO (YES or NO) Keep? .......... NO (YES or NO)
From here you can select a printer and print the entire list similar to what you were already able to do with Log Entries or data from Command Entry. Not only does the ?PRINT command print what's visible on the screen, but also prints the data to the right of the visible display for lists that are left/right scrollable.
WHERE IT WORKS:
The ?PRINT command works for most data lists that can be generated in Solve and NetMaster, such as Monitor lists (alerts, resources, file transfers, etc...), IP and TELNET connection lists, IP History and so on...
COMMA DELIMITED FORMAT
This is available in all lists accessible through /IPCON (Menu option D.C)
Our Netmaster for TCP/IP 12.2 Release Notes explains how you can extract the data, in the New Features section under /IPCON EXPORT Command Support for Connections Lists
In summary, bring up the desired connection list display, then issue the EXPORT command.
This will drive the printer function, so data can be sent via email or to a dataset. The output is in comma delimited format.
A display that looks something like this in Netmaster

The online doc for these screens shows
EXPORT uses Printer Services to print the contents of
the current Telnet, FTP or Connection List screen.
The screen information is written out in comma
delimited format. The print request is processed in
the background, and a Printer Services message is
written to the Activity Log when completed.
Additional Information
Full syntax of the command is ?PRINT HERE nnnn or ?PRINT nnnn
where nnnn is the number of lines to be printed.
Default value is 999 if no number is specified. Maximum value is 9000
the HERE option will print from the current line of data being displayed forward. If no number is specified, it will default to 999.
EXAMPLES:
1. I want to print 6435 records from the IP History from the beginning of the list.
Command: ?PRINT 7000
This makes clear that the number of lines in the command can be higher than the actual number of records. The process will hit end of list before the 7000 limit, and that's fine; there are no requirements for an exact match
2. I want to print part of a connection list starting a few screens down, and only need the next 100 lines.
Scroll forward and position the first line to be printed at the top of the screen.
Command: ?PRINT HERE 100
3. I want to print the complete listing from a specific connection display that is about 500 lines.
Command: ?PRINT
