RE: Can OV/400 only print IPDS?

["Bob Crothers" <Bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nathan,

Check the document.  There is a device associated with it and that is
probably an IPDS printer.

If memory serves me correct (and it often doesn't), this is on the Exit
screen and there is an option that says "print options" or something
like that.  Make sure you are pointed at a non-ipds printer.

Bob

CreatePrint is a forms package.

When you send output to a printer the CreatePrint software intercepts
the
file and if the formtype of the *SPLF matches a CreatePrint formtype
the
*SPLF data is manipulated to look the way you want it to look and
graphics
added if required.

The problem is that CreatePrint doesn't support *IPDS. And from whar I
understand OV/400 or our version of it is printing output using *IPDS.
The
SPLF needs to *SCS or *USERASCII.

So we need to change the output to one of the latter two options.

Regards,

Nathan Simpson

I'm not familar with "CreatePrint", but OV400 "can" use a IPDS printer
if you wish. IPDS is a hardware/software combo that requires both parts
to work correctly. You can "emulate" IPDS with HPT but the results are
often not satisfactory. You don't really "tinker" with IPDS, youy
either
have or not...


Try to describe "CreatePrint" and what you are attempting to do and we
could be of more help.
