RE: Print files and Tray/Drawer selection

Okay, I'm sure this is a stupid question.

The Drawer Number program defined field (&DW) is alpha 4 bytes long. What value do I store if I want the "DRAWER(&DW)" keyword to use Drawer 2?

Perhaps "0002"?

The DDS for an *AFPDS file doing drawer selection looks like this:
A*
A R DRAWR1 DRAWER(1) CDEFNT(X0GT10)
A DRAW 16A 30SPACEB(8)
A TXTA 16A 30SPACEB(1)
A R DRAWR2 DRAWER(2) CDEFNT(X0GT10)
A DRAW 16A 30SPACEB(8)
A TXTA 16A 30SPACEB(1)
A R DRAWRV DRAWER(&DW) CDEFNT(X0GT10)
A DRAW 16A 30SPACEB(8)
A TXTA 16A 30SPACEB(1)
A DW 4A P
A R ENDPAGE ENDPAGE

Note the drawer number can be a program defined field.

Older versions, before V5, seemed to get less confused if an ENDPAGE command was sent as a separate print record at the end of every page so that is still my coding practice.
