SAP R/3 on AS/400 and AFP-Printing

$VersionOpt: 0

Hello,

anyone out there familiar with SAP R/3 on AS/400 ?

I face a problem in printing from SAP to an AS/400 OutQ using the IBMEPF-Driver
in SAP. The Spoolfile is created,
but it cannot be printed, as soon as I start the print, it will be put on hold
with a message in QSYSOPR saying that it can't
be printed.

As I'm not familiar with AFP, my first question is, whether the spoolfile is
really AFP-Data it looks like this:

Second what I've found out is, that all spoolfiles use QSYSPRT as printerfile,
which defaults to devicetype *SCS.
So I changed for a test QSYSPRT (the only existing object on the system) to
*AFPDS, but anyway the spoolfiles are created
with *SCS.

Does anybody know how to change the Spoolfile in SAP from QSYSPRT and why are
the spoolfiles created with *SCS even
the printerfile is *AFPDS ?

Any help is appreciated.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards
