Re: ILE-C

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

The form feed characters written to qsysprt are probably being ignored
because they are not valid for SCS type printer devices. It's hard to
map stream I/O to AS/400 devices like a printer file. You might have
more luck creating a user-defined printer file with DDS and using the C
functions for externally described files to write to the printer file.
You could use _ROpen, _Rwrite, etc., for this type of operation. Most of
the _R*** operations map pretty closely to f***() C functions.

Hope this helps!
