Re: A dumb *S36 question - printer problem

[ken shields <kjs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had a similar problem on a 170, several moons ago.
Problem was the rpg LR logic would not clos the mapped outq file.
There was a special patch supplied by IBM, to fix the problem.
The office is in Montreal, so I don't have the patch reference.
Will try to get it for you.
