RE: Default printer

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

It is possible for reports from a sub-system to belong to QUSER even though 
they are generated by many different people.  M/36 going away for us, but 
when we had it, all reports generated in M36 went to OS/400 spool file which 
was NOT connected to a printer, because default forms on OS/400 are *STD 
while form name on M36 was something else & every spool was property of QUSER.

Fortunately we have for a long time had a standard of programs having on top 
of report the NAME of the user who generated it, so if something of uncertain 
origin, looking at the report tells us who dun it.  The few exceptions 
motivate us to fix them also.

We use query/400 heavily.  Normally query reports do not identify who done 
them, once they leave the spool file.  When you have a shared system printer 
with tons of users, it can annoy some people to see reports sitting unclaimed 
for days, cluttering shared piles.
Thanks to tip here or AS400 Network, I forget which, we now know how to force 
name of person running query report to print on the report itself, provided 
it was run via one of our CL programs that we have on a menu - the technique 
does not connect to someone doing RUNQRY or WRKQRY, although 99% of that is 
done inside BPCSMENU so I am tempted to modify there for this explicit 
purpose.

If you want me to dig up the particulars, ask via
Subject Re: Query Who (was default printer) 
or something like that
as usual, the how to is at work & I am at home rright now

Well, for the user who the spool file belongs too.  If you aren't
sure, hold the printer the next time this runs, and work with the
output queue and see who the owner is of the print file.  That should
be the user profile to change.

Yes, but which default user profile? Quser? This is already set to *wrkstn.
