Print actions (<print> element)
The Print actions allow you to print text from the session window of a 3270 Display session. You can print the entire application screen, or you can print a rectangular area of text from the application screen. You can use the same printer setup options and most of the same page setup options that are available for a 3270 Printer session.
You can use the Print actions only with a 3270 Display session.
The Print actions do not create a host print session. Rather, the Print actions print data that is displayed in the 3270 Display session window (screen print).
The Print actions are:
- Print Start
- Print Extract
- Print End
Although the Macro Editor presents Print Start, Print Extract, and Print End as separate types of action, in fact the Macro object stores all three using the <print> element.
