Re: Printing from *M36

Paul,

>You can execute the command CHGS36 from a command line on the native
AS/400 side of the machine. This command brings you to a menu panel that
allows you to adjust certain configuration variables pertaining to your
S/36 environment. Choose the printer related selection and you will be
brought to a screen with a chart showing the links between S/36 printer
designations (P1, P2, etc.) and their equivalent native AS/400 names. You
will need to add a new link between a S/36 printer definition and the
native AS/400 name for your new 4224 printer.

 I reread your msg before I went to the client and realized that the
command you mentioned above is CHGS36, which is for the 36EE, not *M36.
Assuming you meant CHGM36, I did that and saw that the new printer was
configured, pointing to the device (PRT03) on the /400 side.  There are no
/400 writers active (although when I did activate one and send it a spool
it printed!) BTW, this is a 4224-1E.  What type should it be configured on
the /36 side?  I tried IPDS and 4224-2.  


 I applied regular PTFs, although I couldn't do the MCODE PTFs. I'm still
getting the /36 msg that the writer can't access the printer.

 Any more ideas?
