RE: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type

[Steve Rushing <sgr_mags@xxxxxxx>]

Charles,

This is a legacy system. 98% of the spool files are QSYSPRT files and a 
combination of 85 column and 132 column printing. I thought it would be 
much easier to attack it at one spot (the printer) rather than add ovrprtfs 
to hundreds of CL's and S/36 Env OCL. Unless I am missing something?

Thanks.

-Steve
