To begin, click “Attention” from any SkilMatch screen. On screens where “Attention” does not appear, you may click “File” in the top left corner of the screen. Then select “Attention Program”.

Your print files will display. Note: the print files on your system may differ from those displayed above.

Look under the STS (Status) column. Ready (RDY) items will always display on top of Held (HLD) items. Your most recent report request will be the last RDY item. Do not delete job logs (QPJOBLOG) – used for programmer analysis should you encounter problems! These joblogs are automatically Held, and will disappear when 7 days old.

The USER DATA column may help you to identify the print file you want to display or print. Once you locate the print file, click once to highlight it. You may then either:
