Re: Facsimile/400

We've done the same thing.  In fact the last CISC box we have is just to run 
the 
ancient version of BISCOM that we have.  They wanted too much money for a RISC 
version 
and our hardware company gave us an E04.  We've just about finished our 
migration.  
You're right on the CL driven versus burying in the codes.  This was a trick 
for our 
AS/SET generated programs which will not let you open/close printer files 
within a 
program, (disk files are okay).

Subject:        Facsimile/400

Can anyone give me a couple pointers on a "correct" way to set up
Fax/400?  I'm currently replacing a Biscom/EDS fax solution, works good
just not Y2K compliant, we just upgraded a client to from a 510 to a 720
and ordered Facsimile/400 rather than hassle with the upgrade of the
Unix-based fax server pc.  This eliminates a "faxserver" pc and puts all
the stuff back in the AS400. (where it belongs)
Current implementation:
* an outq FAXQ which a program "scans" for spoolfiles and moves them to
the PC
* the printer file contains a FAXHEADER record which contains control
codes for fax#, etc
* Based on a "fax or report(f/r) _" prompt in the program a cl for the
"generate" subprogram either overrides to faxq or not and faxheader
record is written (or not) at each fax# change.

It looks like Fax400 is cl-driven, ie., you'd have to call a cl at EACH
"fax# change".

Any advice will be appreciated, ie., how did you do it??
