RE: ADDRPYLE for a message to a writer

I thought it would eject, based on the message text for CPA4002:

I -- To continue printing aligned forms starting with the next line of the
file, type an I.
G -- To continue printing aligned forms skipping to the next form and
printing the first line again, type a G.

Neil, Charles, and Chuck,
Thanks for explaining the details of the messge. The
positioning of the
paramater didn't jump out at me right away, but it
makes sense now.
I don't really have an answer as far as using G instead
of I. I think
another message was being sent that needed to be replied to
when the
option I was taken, but not when option G was taken. I can
verify
whether or not that is true.
What benefit does replying with an I give me as opposed to
G? Right now
answering with a G doesn't eject a blank label prior to
printing.

That is not the way you calculate it.
Look at the output I included from the DSPMSGD CPA4002.
You are looking for substitution parameter &3.
It shows you &1, &2 and &3 are all 10 bytes.
Therefore &3 (the printer name) starts in 21.

I've done this on may systems and it works perfectly.

PS - and why reply with G instead of I ?

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 the 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' ?
