RE: tcp/ip defined with a name

[Roger Boucher <RBoucher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, sorry.  I didn't know you were creating these as print devices.  I
thought you were doing remote outqueues.  To get to the host table entries
type CFGTCP and take option 10 on the resulting menu.  This allows you to
associate a host name with a TCP/IP address.  Unfortunately I don't remember
your original question, but to answer your new questions...

If you create them as remote outqueues and set the AUTOSTRWTR parameter to
any number greater than zero the writer(s) will start automatically.  It
will not, however, show up on the WRKWTR display... you would use WRKOUTQ
instead.

Regarding starting the writers (when set up as print devices) without having
to answer the printer messages, there has been a lot of discussion about
that on this list and the answer is a little tricky.  Each solution presents
new issues and you might benefit by searching previous month's archives to
get the opinions of those on this list who have experience resolving such a
situation.

Please clarify your reference to a host table entry.  Is this "adding a
distribution queue" or something else entirely.  I have set up other HP 4000
printers on my AS/400 by creating a device description using:
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRTGVLENG) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +
         LANATTACH(*IP) PORT(9100) ATTACH(*DIRECT) ONLINE(*YES) +
         FONT(11 *NONE) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) SEPDRAWER(*FILE) +
         PRTERRMSG(*INQ) MSGQ(*LIBL/QSYSOPR) ACTTMR(170) +
         INACTTMR(*SEC15) LINESPEED(19200) WORDLEN(8) +
         PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4) +
         PPRSRC1(*LETTER) PPRSRC2(*LETTER) ENVELOPE(*NUMBER10) +
         ASCII899(*NO) IMGCFG(*NONE) CHRID(*SYSVAL) +
         RMTLOCNAME('10.20.1.40') SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) +
         TEXT('Greenville TCP/IP printer-Engineering Dept.')
and these printers work just fine.  I would like to be allow them to start
automatically without having to answer printer messages.
This is the only printer that our LAN personnel had setup by giving it a
name
instead of specifying just the TCP/IP address.

With a remote writer, will the remote writer show up on the WRKWTR display
with
our other printers and will it start automatically
after an IPL?
