PM51766: INSERTING EXTERNAL FILE INTO OUTPUT VIEWER FAILS TO EXPORT INTO PDF FORMAT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A script where part of the Output Viewer is taken from an
  external file. In the Output Viewer, it looks okay and exporting
  to formats such as HTML works as well. The problem we have is
  when exporting to PDF, the output viewer item taken from the
  external file (in this case a .htm) is not present at all.
  
  Export to PDF should produce the same result as exporting to
  other formats, such as HTML.
  Since this is an item in the Output Viewer, it should be
  retained during the export process.
