RE: Printing Issue

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxx>]

First of all, I really did know you were programming on an AS/400.  It would
be a cold day you-know-where if the mainframe (os/390 type) did RPG-IV.
Sounds like you're attending IBM-U!

IIRC = "If I Recall Correctly"

Yeah, security is going to be the biggest issue regarding your connectivity
options.

If your instructor balks at installing freeware tools that would help your
(and your fellow students') situation, have him give us a jingle on the list
so we can set him straight.

Dan,

Thank you very much for helping me out so far, I really appreciate.

I didnt mean to confuse you at all. The JCL book, I shouldnt of mentioned on
my last post to you. For the degree program I am currently in, the number of
hardware platforms and operating systems is a lot to work with. Currently,
the hardware I am currently using right now is the AS/400 and RS/6000. Next
quarter for me come into some other hardware, I dont know all the specifics
yet, but I am anxious to get to them.

Currently, I am programming on the AS/400. This quarter invovles COBOL and
RPG IV; last quarter started with CL programming.

I liked your explanation on the remote output queue. Most likely, it wont
work, since the AS/400 will not see it. My instructor most likely will not
want to compromise security. I have asked my instructor on how to print from
my PC, but he says it cant be done. Whether he will actually allow that or
not, that could be part of his answer.

With Marty's advice, using the +1 on the Control line works just fine for
now; at least I can see if any of my efforts to learn the syntax and proper
coding ( i guess those are the right words) are actually doing the right
thing.

You mentioned, IIRC, I do not know what this is. But, the HOD, is all
web-based, using java. I did forget to tell you, that HOD will not (from my
instructor) allow you to print or even set it up.
Thank you for the DBG/400 web site. I will be looking at the information
later on tonight. Then I will submit it to my instructor, and hopefully, he
will allow this to be installed onto the AS/400.
Thanks again,
Eric
