I have been changing the PRTERRMSG parameter on printer devices from *INQ to *INFO. Stops a writer from backing up if the printer runs out of paper. Users take care of the printer anyway, so it seems ideal. However, A WRKWTR will show a writer status as MSGW, even though no response was requested. Only way I have seen to have the status change is to ENDWTR, STRPRTWTR.

Is this what is supposed to happen at v5r4?
