Re: LPR from AS/400 to VSE

["Michael Dorr 400" <dorrma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scotty,
  I use LPR to send spool files to a 6262-14 printer on an MVS system.  I am
not sure how closely
related the commands are, but here are the particulars for my setup:

PRTQ                 Defined in MVS TCPIP Parms as locprt1
DESTTYP          *OTHER
TRANSFORM   *YES
MFRTYPMDL   *WSCST
WSCST              QSYS/QWPDEFAULT
DESTOPT          'f'

On an MVS System, the DESTOPT must be typed as a single quoted lower case f.
This is a filter indicating
that MVS is to print the file as a series of lines.  (Actually, I have never
been able to get the MVS system to
recognize ANY dest option!)

This LPR command produces exactly what I send (i.e. no extraneous garbage).
