Title: RE: HP9000 to AS/400 via LPD/LPR

I know it.  My customer does not.  And since he is paying the bills….

 

And he wants to use LPD/LPR to get this info over.  His comment: “With every other system in the world, it will work.  Why wont it work with an AS/400?”  (He is not an AS/400 fan).  And he has a point.

 

But, I know very little about Unix in general and nothing about HPUX in particular.

Ya get rid of the HP and replace it with an AS/400!

But you already know that so! instead, try to use FTP and let it convert the ASCII to EBCDIC then use DBU or some other suitable editor to see what sort of things are not coming across correctly and fix the problem on the HP side.

I have a customer who has an HP 9000 running HPUX Version 10.2.  We are
trying to get a print file from the HP world and over to the AS/400 as an
AS/400 *SCS spool file.

He has been successful doing this and getting it as a *USERASCII file, but
this does not help us.  We need *SCS.

He says ("says" could be an important word here <g>) he has followed the IBM
Printing Red Book (not sure which one) on doing this.  But what we get on
the /400 side is a continuous stream of EBCIDIC characters.  No line breaks,
no page breaks, no nothing.  Not very useful.

Anybody have any idea how to do this?  Or what he may be doing wrong?  Or is
it even possible?
