Ray, You would want to write the report as usual and then use a 3rd party tool to do this. Of course I would recommend one of the tools from our company, either JES2Mail or JES2FTP depending on what you want done with the resulting PDF document, or CICS2PDF if you wanted to do the same thing from a CICS program.

We have an application which requires its report be generated as a pdf file. Currently, this is being accomplished by a java application running in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. The customer is not happy with the length of time it takes to create the report. I have suggested that the report should be generated via COBOL in batch. Can a PDF version of this report be created using COBOL?
