Gil,
Now that you explained why you would like to use NJE, have you thought about
alternatives?
For example:
Do you have TCP/IP-attached laser printers in the office, HP laser printers
or high-speed copiers with IP-interface?
If so, do you have VPS or any other mainframe software that allows printing
of mainframe reports on IP printers?
Assuming, of course, that the reports are not millions of lines or
AFP-format, requiring 3900-class printers and/or special size paper, how
about this: Use XMITIP[1] to convert the report to a PDF file (with optional
green-bar page background) and email it to the user. The user can then
decide if on-line viewing on the PC is sufficient and/or print all or
selected pages to a network / PC - printer. Might save a tree or two, and a
lot of time waiting for report delivery ...
Until you do find a workable solution, how about charging the users a fee
for each special report handling request? $5 per request, perhaps? (Just
kidding)
Regards,
Ulrich Krueger
[1] Shameless plug: XMITIP and TXT2PDF by Lionel Dyck is software to send
Email from the mainframe, with or without attached files in a variety of
file formats. And the price is unbeatable: Free.

Asked and answered. The OP's local sysprogs don't like NJE for some
reason, have not implemented it, and (according to the OP) will not do
so. Politics was suggested as the underlying reason.
The reason I think they don't want to open the NJE capability is that they
don't want people transferring reports that were created on the
development/qa regions to the production region where the reports could get
out to our customers by mistake.
Unfortunately, all the high speed printers are on the production lpar so
occassionaly a "test" report does need to be transferred to the production
region for printing. Don't laugh but we are still bus and tag attached.
They would rather me do it on an as-needed basis, however, the requests are
getting too frequent and taking up too much of my time.
I would think that there are security measures that would allow only certain
individuals or groups the ability to use the nje feature and not make it
generally available to everyone.
I am hoping that with all the information I received (thanks to Brian
Westerman for sending me the share document) that I can convince them into
taking another look at setting up the NJE. It definitely looks like a time
saver.
Regards,
Gil.
