A PC can print using a 400 as the server... I believe it will go into
the outq as well.

I do RUNRMTCMD for a variety of tasks here when I need the client PC
that requests the job to do something, but in this case I want the
documents to be generated in the i5 output queue, if at all possible.

Has anyone ever had any luck using RUNRMTCMD? :-)
Sounds like a good job for plain old windows batch files.

Hi Dave,
I have the exact same requirement ... print the attachments when
printing the shop packet.
I already tried using the MEDIAF and ATTACH physical files to get the
attachment (link) and then execute the RUNRMTCMD command, but didn't
get good results. Any suggestions?

[MAPICS-L] Generating blueprints with shop packets
Hello all,
I once again find myself in need of support from the learned members of
this august body. (Oops, been watching CSPAN again!) Seriously, I
would
like to have my MAPICS shop packets also print a copy of the blueprints
automatically. We are on XA/R6 (sigh), using EPDM. I know there's an
attachment file for each item that I can use to load the file names of
the blueprints, plus the obvious Engineering Drawing Number in the
ITMRVA record. We'd have to use the attachment file, since we
frequently have multiple prints for each item.
Surely someone out there has done this already - it's far too obvious.
I
have wanted to try this for a long time, but until recently we used a
stone-age (1994) DOS-based CAD package and there would be no chance of
the
i5 printing THAT! If anyone is doing this, I would greatly appreciate
any suggestions as to how it was done. I was thinking of changing the
shop packet print program (we had to customize ours to conform to union
contract requirements, so I already own that code), to close the print
file at the end of each order, call a print command for the blueprint(s)
for the end item (we use AutoDesk/Inventor), then go to the next order
and reopen the print file. That will create a gazillion and two print
files during MRP Order Release and slow down the processing, but I can
deal with that.
Help?
