When <Enter> is pressed on a utility screen, messages documenting processing and error notification appear. When three asterisks (***) appear after the messages, press <Enter> to continue.

When a report is printed on a utility screen, the information is automatically put into an ISPF dataset that can be browsed. When the dataset is exited, an ISPF screen with JCL job cards that can be modified appears.

To print the report, modify the JCL as appropriate and press <Enter>.

To exit the screen without printing the report, press <PF3> (END).
