Applies to:

PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Payroll for North America - Version 9 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms



When running the process, PYYEW2 'Create W-2 PDF Forms', it completes succesfully but does not produce the PDF output file.  Even when the process is run and a batch size of 1000 is used, it still does not create the PDF output file.  If it is run for only a few employees, the PDF output does get created.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------

When the Create W-2 PDF Forms process is run for all employees, it should produce a PDF output file containing all employees who were processed.  In this case, it should produce a PDF containing W-2 forms for 4,733 employees.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1.  Run Create W2-PDF Forms for all companies and all employees
2.  Navigate to Report Manager and select PYW209EE EE W2 Employee Print Form 2009
