Ian,

If your plants have different output queues, you could associate a data
queue (let's call it MAPICS_P01) to the *OUTQ that needs special processing
and then, using a never ending program, monitor MAPICS_P01 and, if needed,
change the required spool entry (using CHGSPLFA).

Makes sense?

Hi Luis

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately they will be running reports from
within Mapics XA (Infor XA) and there are many of them. We have the added
problem in that I cannot simply change all spool files to the designated
printer drawer as we have users in 4 plants who use the same reports and
they all have their own printers with different requirements
