RE: ADDRPYLE for a message to a writer

Chuck,

Why the auto reply to CPA5335 ?
Do you not have the printer device description created with PRTERRMSG(*INFO) ?

Griz,

I have a TON of printers setup that way. I monitor for:

Load Form Type CPA3394 Reply G Compare Start 1
Verify Alignment CPA5335 Reply I Compare Start 21

for each printer.

I use this on laser printers and ink jet printers.

HTH

Subject: ADDRPYLE for a message to a writer

We have a label printer named PRT28 in our warehouse that
always sends
the following message when label stock is switched.
Verify alignment on printer PRT28. (I G N R E C)
Currently I answer the message by doing WRKWTR , taking
option 7 and
replying with a G.

The message ID is CPA4002.
I ran the following command to add the message to the
system reply list
:
ADDRPYLE SEQNBR(100) MSGID(CPA4002) CMPDTA('PRT28'
29) RPY(G)

Adding the reply didn't do what I hoped it would
because I still have to
answer the message.
I'm guessing that is because the writer is allocated
to the QSPLJOB
user profile and it uses the QDFTJOBD job description,
which has
INQMSGRPY set to *RQD.

Can anyone tell me if it would be a bad idea to change
QDFTJOBD to use
*SYSRPYL insead of *RQD in the INQMSGRPY field? If so can
anyone offer
some alternatives?

Thanks in advance,
Griz
