Yes the AS/400 is defined as a server using the TCP/IP address. It is the
same connection
that has worked with the prior version of CODE. I have a chance to include
CODE/400
in the cirriculum I that I'm teaching to our young, aspiring RPG
programmers. I'm kind of
disappointed because I've not even gotten a response back from IBM on this.
Must be
because it's a beta.

Based on your response of CL, I don't think you understood my question as CL
does not
have O-specs. There is a 3rd party tool available (it used to be called RDA)
that works
like RLU should. It is very common to see O-specs in RPG, in fact it's more
common to see
O-specs that it is to see externally defined printer files (just having a
printer file that mimics
QPRINT doesn't make it externally defined). The printer file design function
in CODE needs
to be able to handle both external DDS and internal O-specs.
