RE: "Naming" a PC5250 Device (session) in CA NT...

Roger and others,

You can have named devices with CA/400 V3R1M3 and TCP/IP on OS/400 
V3R7 (printer sessions, also).  See info APAR II10918 for the required 
PTFs.

I'm testing it right now to get ready to deploy TCP/IP (we currently 
only connect via SNA) and I've discovered a few problems with printing 
and virtual device creation.  Have you tried a printer session at V4R2 
with good results?  Do you have to set system value QAUTOVRT to 
greater then 0 to get device descriptions created (IBM told me I 
shouldn't have to turn this system value on)?

Once you get a display device created, it works fine.  Just printer 
devices have trouble printing correctly whether you use host print 
transform/customization object or not (get garbage, no rotation, 
etc.).

BTW, I crashed TELNET when I tried to reuse a printer session created 
under SNA which had a message queue besides QSYSOPR.  You can reuse 
display devices with no problems.  Had to STRTCPSVR *TELNET to start 
TELNET back up.

TIA,

Gotta have V4R2 and the V3R1M3 client to do that. It does work 
there--I just
got done playing with it. Note that the V3R1M3 client running on pre 
V4R2
releases DOES NOT provide the capability yet, but IBM has promised to 
PTF
the device naming (and IP printing) back to V3R2 (original promise was 
by
the second quarter I think).
