Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 5, Issue 564

Thanks Mike,

I have sent Optio an email, let see how long they will take to get back to 
me, I guess this documentation may be hard to come by.

CKMAIN is not in the OPTIO library, I find it in FX300.  Is this the older 
(XPOINT) version?

I can get to FXMAIN, however the description in the top left corner 
XMAIN2, not an issue I suppose.

I have taken a look at "Monitor Output Queues", going to 3. Work with 
Commands to be Processed, I find that there is the following:

Unique ID and Description.  
  
            Unique ID Type . . . . . FT  
            Unique ID. . . . . . . . APCHECKS  
            Output Queue . . . . . . OPTIO  
             Library . . . . . . . . . *LIBL  
  
            Description. . . . . . . MERGE US CHECKS  
  
  
  
Command.  
  
       MRGCHKSDM NAME(CV2US) MRGTYP(*JOB) FILE(£FILE) 
JOB(£JNUM/£USER/£JOBN) SPL
NBR(9999) TOUTQ(V2UKPRT4) RPCNST(B)

This command doesn't make sense as there is no V2UKPRT4.  I tried to 
change it to the printer in front of me (V2UKFIN1) and run a cheque 
through.  I have been told by the AP girl in New York that she used to 
change the output queue to OPTIO and the cheques would print.

This was the command I used:
CHGSPLFA FILE(S04572) JOB(784971/UKCXS30/QPADEV0026) OUTQ(OPTIO)

However, nothing happened.  I am just guessing that this should work.  Can 
anyone point me in the direction of understanding what the above embedded 
Command does?

The problem is that the output is in landscape when it should be portrait 
and is way too small, I have tried fiddling around with the Printer File 
Settings for S04572 with only minimal success (either increasing the text 
size or changing the page rotation - not both).

Thanks
Col

Colin,

We use the CheckBook portion of the Optio software also.  In our case it
was part of the OptioDCS package that we originally picked up when it
was XPoint.  If you go to the web site it might be very hard to find
what you need (www.optiosoftware.com).  However, from there you can get
a tech support number and email (custcare@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).  Based on
your location you might want to try the European location:

Optio Software UK Ltd.

B90 8AD
United Kingdom
tel:   +44 (0)121 506 9640
fax: +44 (0)121 506 9641
e-mail: info-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
Directions

Generally speaking you should be able to access what you need via the
menu CKMAIN (that should be in the library OPTIO).  We monitor our
output queues which is accessible off of the FXMAIN menu and under
utilities (opt 5) and monitor output queues (opt 17).

Part of what I'd like to know is what do you mean by it's not
working....nothing happening, output incorrect, etc.

Hi all,

We appear to have Optio software running on our AS/400 that was
previously 
formatting cheques from JDE.

However, there have been some office moves and either the software is no

longer working or the configuration is incorrect for the new printers.
I 
have looked around on our system and found the Optio library, which was 
created on 16/06/98, however I cannot find any documentation on how to
use 
and configure the software.

The library description is Optio 5.0.1a Distribution Library-RISC.

Any help greatly appreciated

Col
