RE: Commands or APIs for working with remote writers

Martin,  I have a working example of the API, look for WRKRMTWTR on my page
http://home.columbus.rr.com/jbmmdietz/iseries.html . The source is included
in the save file.

Subject: Commands or APIs for working with remote writers

Hello and Happy New Year to all,

Users in the shops currently have a screen which lists their printers, shows
the status and gives them the option to start, end etc.  Some of the newer
printers on the system have been set up as remote writers and this program
as it stands will not recognize them.  The program is using QSPRWTRI to get
the writer info but this API does not appear to return any information for
remote writers, just a CPF33C8 message.  Is there a CL command or API I can
use to determine if an OUTQ is attached to remote writer and/or determine
the current status of a remote writer, so I can at least give the users the
option to attempt to start it (via STRRMTWTR) if it is not working?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Martin
