RE: Printing bitmaps

Thanks for the tip, Michael. I tried that and the CRTPAGSEG fails with
the same error so I guess I have a problem with my use of the API. I
have trawled through the code but cannot find where the problem is.
Does any kind soul have a working RPG program they would be willing to
share?

Try FTPing the stream file to the PF and then the CRTPAGSEG - see if you
have the same problem. I'm wondering if it's in the CPYFRMSTMF.
