hi tod

the bc ministry of the environment has devleoped a "print utility" that we use to submit "reports" (report1.1, reports2.0, SQL*plus, or any operating system commands) to run on the server. in this case, the server is an HP running HP-UX.

the company i work for has used this utility quite extensively. it is not "simple" to diagnose, but the ministry is working to enhance this.

basically, it is done via "pipes".

if you'd like more information, feel free to contact me (see below), or jerry horel (jhorel_at_galaxy.gov.bc.ca), or take a look at the information on:   

http://ssbwww.env.gov.bc.ca/~cap/cap_home/utilities/b_c_environment/env_p rint_utility/

jerry has graciously put his stuff there, and made the source code available.

you also might want to have a boo at:
