Re: Can OV/400 only print IPDS?

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OV/400 does not(to my knowledge) create any sort of IPDS data steam.

I have had many users over the years and I don't recall any special
problems with the way OV/400 prints. If anything, it had many features
that were not normally available using straight RPG and CLP...

The IPDS printer(if you had one) would NOT do any "IPDS things" unless
it received a set of print instructions using the IPDS data stream.

The *SCS data stream is a more likely candidate for what OV/400 puts
out, but I recall many folks having problems trying to deal with the
print files OV/400 output. You had VERY few options on changing the
appearance of the OV/400 output.

I suspect your software package is the problem, not OV/400.

Even though OV/400 doesn't output IPDS, the output might not
be what "CreatePrint" expects....
