Spool - Report name format on the receiving print server different with V14.

Products

• Spool

Issue/Introduction

After migrating from Spool 12.0 to 14.0, remote clients that receive reports from our Spool 14.0 observed that the report names / file names are different on their print server (RPM). They need the full report name because they trigger some post processing when they receive the reports.

I had to back out and start Spool 12.0. 

Can we have Spool 14.0 and keep the same report name / file name format as with Spool 12.0?

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : Spool

Resolution

A sample user exit is supplied, with name ESFU009.

With no modified Spool 14.0 exit, the client was using the default version, instead of the customized exit that they had been using with Spool 12.0.

Compare the module ESFU009 from the Spool 12.0 load library with the ESFU009 module from the 14.0 library.

The default Spool 12.0 and 14.0 ESFU009 exit source are the same.

With that, if the load modules are different, you can copy the module from the Spool 12.0 library to the Spool 14.0 library.
