I hope someone from IBM will check this out for me...a problem and a question
1. The Fax/400 licensed programs have a bug (or at least on the AS400, it's a bug, on Windows, it would be normal)
When the fax sybsystem is ended without first ending fax support, something gets corrupted, causing the fax status to not be updated (from "sending" to "complete" or "error"). I believe this is because it uses data areas.
The subsystem should be OK when ended with ENDSBS, but it's not.
THIS IS A BUG ON THE AS400...
Use pf's instead, or something so that this will not be a problem.
To "get around" this, I've written a RESTARTFAX clp which endsfaxspt, deletes the two dataq's, restarts fax support. This is not right, but it's the only way I can keep it working in an environment which I have little control over.

2. When using the SBMFAX command, does it really submit?

Anyone, hopefully on the fax400 group at IBM, who can shed some light on this please respond.
