Jerry,

That's not an issue if you pay for actual *IPDS capable printers.

The IPDS protocol is smart enough not to report back the the file has
printed until it has.

Charles,

Thanks.  Job Accounting is set on our system, according to these steps.  Still nothing.

But there's a gotcha in this whole process, anyway.  Printers have memory these days.  When the System i gets through pushing the report to the printer's memory, it considers the report finished and either deletes it, saves it, or whatever.  However, if the printer's memory gets reset before the report physically prints, all bets are off.  This has happened to us several times, which resulted in me changing the OVRPRTF or the // PRINTER OCL statement to Save the output for critical, non-rerunable reports (such as end-of-period stuff).  I hate printers, anyway.

Thanks.

The only other thing that I found in the manual was that job accounting had to be started.  The journal's on the system (QACGJRN) but I have not yet been able to find a menu or a manual that will tell me if it's started or, if not, how to start it.

Still looking - between coffee breaks.

That said, I printed a report, then pressed F6.  But nothing showed
up.  Even tried *ALL users.  Must be something else involved, but
that's all I could find in the manual.

I also tried to turn this one, printed several reports then tried to see
them as printed as that printer.  Nothing showed up.  Does this need an
IPL to go into effect?
