Re: Distrabution of Spool Files:

["Christine Hales" <chales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

        I'm not sure how it works on an AS/400....

        Here's a cheap solution that may work, depending on how fancy you want 
to
do this.  On our HP, we rewrote the lp command (in the /bpcs/bin
directory).  In doing this, we are able to trap the name of the output (ie
bom200*** is a bill of materials), and send that on to a virtual printer
for our forms software.  The original printer name was embedded in the
file, so all of this is transparent to the user - they print as normal from
BPCS.

        I'm sure you could write the command to either email the output to the
user, or place it in a directory that they could access by other means.
