Re: Printing from the IFS

Hi Jim,

That looks good too, although now I'm wondering about performance
considerations, QSH vs CPYFRMIMPF and either RUNQRY or CPYF.  On the other
hand if there's no way to override the printer file for QSH's pr command,
yours may be the simplest solution short of writing a program to do it.

Thanks.
