  13. SUMMARY:  I want to title and index microfiche
  14. REL/PLTF: 6.07 MVS
  15.  
  16. Someone suggested that I elaborate a bit  on  my  microfiche
  17. inquiry.
  18.  
  19. I can route a "print" file to fiche with fairly simple  JCL.
  20. The  problem is that there is no indexing and no titling (at
  21. least of individual fiche), so it isn't easy to find  things
  22. in a lengthy report.
  23.  
  24. That is where EZFORM/PTFORM comes in.   These  packages  are
  25. supposed   to  provide  enhanced  output.   EZFORM  operates
  26. through subroutine calls, while PTFORM is a  post-processor.
  27. I  strongly  suspect  that  there is no practical way to use
  28. EZFORM with SAS.  I  seek  confirmation  of  this,  tips  on
  29. PTFORM  (or on the post-processing approach in general), and
  30. any other helpful suggestions.
