Is there a way to place comment statements in an SQL source member so that when it is run via the RUNSQLSTM command, it won't generate errors? I use a source type of 'txt' for my sql statments. They aren't very complex, usually just for quick fixes, but I'd like to be able to comment within the source member.

Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com An old Sys/36 printer was replaced by a new IBM printer 3 years ago. It is not in the same place I am so I can't just walk over and look at it. WRKDEVD says the printer is a 4234 printer. Can this be so? I have the feeling that this printer is in fact far more capable than a 4234 printer but was configured as a 4234 to insure no problems with the Sys/36 applications still running on the iSeries. What has started me on this issue is that I wish to print 12 cpi and I am getting hardware halts saying that 12 cpi is unsupported. I can not believe a brand new printer manufactured by IBM in 1999 is incapable of printing 12 cpi. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even "RTFM" if you d also tell me which manual. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@MartinVT.com --------------------------------------------------------- --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@attbi.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Subject: RE: How do I find the model of a Printer?

So I would imagine that your assumption is correct and that it was configured as it was to maintain compatibility with the S/36 software. To confuse things further, I believe that all of the 4234 printers supported 12 CPI, so the AS/400 drivers should allow this. You may need to redefine the printer on the AS/400 or you may need to reconfigure the printer at its control panel. Unless you can locate some shipping or order documents which would list the model, I can't think of how to determine this information without having someone look at the machine. It's hard to RTFM when you don't know the model.
