Re: Set remote printer to pull from Drawer 3

.

Compiles okay to QGPL, but I need to tweak this thing so it ALWAYS pulls from the specific drawer.

In the retrieved source I have four drawer specifications:

:DWRSLT
DRAWER=PAPER
DATA ='1B266C3248'X.
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=ENVELOPE
DATA ='1B266C3368314F'X.
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=DRAWER1
DATA ='1B266C3148'X.
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=DRAWER2
DATA ='1B266C3448'X.

I suspect DRAWER2 for this. If it turns out to be technically a DRAWER3, the docs say I can add an entry for an additional drawer. (True?)

If I want to ONLY direct output to ONLY Drawer 2, will it work to remove the other drawer specs?

What I would do is to lie.

Set the WSCST so that all the DRWSLT specs point to tray 3.
That way no matter what the (unknown) printer file definition is, the
spooled file will request tray 3.

Yes, you can add another set of specs for drawer 3, but if you can't
change the vendor's software to OVRPRTF / CHGPPRTF it won't matter
because you can't tell IBM i to use that.
