RE: ADDRPYLE for a message to a writer

Starting at the letter V in the word Verify, by my count, &3 starts in
position 29. The word printer starts in position 21.
As Pete suggested I copied the QDFTJOBD and I was going change the
usrprf QSPLJOB to use the new job description, but I received a message
stating
The system user profile cannot be changed.
At this point I think my best option is to modify the start up of the
writers to be ALIGN(*FILE) as Charles suggested.
Thanks to everyone for your help.

Your message data start position of 29 in CMPDTA is wrong.

DSPMSGD CPA4002 shows:
Verify alignment on printer &3.

Field Data Type Length
&1 *CHAR 10
&2 *CHAR 10
&3 *CHAR 10
&4 *BIN 2
&5 *CHAR 10
&6 *CHAR 10

You can see that &3 starts in 21, not 29.

Also, if teh assumption here is that the forms are always aligned, why
auto reply with a 'G' and waste an extra form instead of with an 'I' ?
