RE: TCP/IP printing problem?

[Hart Doug <dah6696@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

        This sounds like the problem I have with remote outq spool files going
to hold.  I called Support Line and they said that this is a known
problem on all RISC systems (v3.7 up) and an open APAR exists but no PTF
yet.  It seems that some applications write a temp splf immed prior to
creating the real one (perhaps AFP, or forms with overlays, etc.).  The
RISC systems are so fast that the 'see' the temp file but don't quite
catch it and the real file ends up going to hold status thinking its
send failed.  

        The work-a-round is to end the writer release the splf and strrmtwtr
again.

        I'm on a call back list for when a PTF is ready but its been a week and
IBM has no planned date.

I thought I'd post this issue to the list.  It came up on JDEList and a
few responses indicated that others are having this problem as well...
but no solutions as of yet.  Also, it is not restricted to World Writer
reports...  Anyone have any insight??  Thanks for any help.

ORIGINAL POST:
We have Jde World Software release 7.2 , system OS/400 V4R2M0.
We print over TCP/IP using print severs (HP Jet Direct) acting as LPD 
servers.When we are printing some World Writer reports sometimes the
output 
and ALL following printouts (in the same output queue) are set on hold. 
Using 6 (release) doesnt'n help. We have to delete the printer's writer,

start a new one and then release all held printouts. Does anybody know
how to solve this problem?
