Distribution List
A feature of NBSpool’s banner function is the ability to attach a distribution list to a report. The
distribution list is a list of people who will receive a copy of the report. For each person in the list,
the program allows you to enter a department, phone number and bin location. The device
information can also be specified for different distributions.
If banners are added to a report that has a distribution list, the banner function creates a copy of the
report for each person on the list. In the detail area of each copy is printed the bin location, name,
department and phone number. In addition, the bin location or the distribution list name may be
printed in the banner header.
If the
BANNER command is issued with the SINGLE option, the banner function prints a consolidated
distribution list on the report. The printed list will be sorted by bin location. The banner function
prints as much of the list as will fit on the first banner page. If the list is too long to be printed on
one page, the rest of the list may be printed on consecutive banner pages. The number of banner
pages is defined in the Banner Control Information screen of
BANMAIN.
