> Why this restriction? Because we already know it can be done programmatically. (although I can't do it in less than 30 minutes) I see the need for doing this for other reasons and as a line item fix on "other peoples" software. Native works for me when possible. > doesn't send font information to a printer. Frankly, this is an ugly hack > in the first place. Why do you want to perpetuate it? Believe me, I did not come up with it. Bill G. did that. > > Wouldn't it make more sense to create a WSCST object that sends the font > so that the font can be selected using the regular FONT keyword in DDS? I will look at this. I need to make the font permanent /resident so that it can be used by the next job. > QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT=FILE=qsys.lib/qusrsys.lib/qsysprt.file Actually, this works fine, QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT(FILE=qsys.lib/qusrsys.lib/myfile.file/myfile.mbr) and will solve many qshell wants, but not my particular font problem, I can do this with FTP or a few other ways. > What you MIGHT be able to do is use the "cat -c" utility that I displayed > above to a PF, and then use CPYF to go from the PF to the PRTF.

Instead, do something like: > > CRTPF MYLIB/MYPF RCDLEN(132) > QSH CMD('cat -c selectfont.bin > /qsys.lib/mylib.lib/mypf.file/mypf.mbr') > OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) DEVTYPE(*USERASCII) CTLCHAR(*NONE) > CPYF FROMFILE(MYPF) TOFILE(QSYSPRT) FROMRCD(1) > DLTOVR QSYSPRT OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) DEVTYPE(*USERASCII) CTLCHAR(*NONE) Above is the statement I had -forgotten- That is very close, going to try it now...(could have had the program done by now, eh)
