If it's on the IFS how else would I get it to the printer without user intervention?

I am doing drawer selection too.

Thanks

Forgive my ignorance, but if you have a pdf stream file and you have a
native pdf printer, why do you convert it first and not send it
directly to the printer? Is it because ot the drawer selection?

I'm using WSCST(*PDF) to print directly to a *STMF (V7R1). Then I
use QImgCvtImg to convert the PDF back to an *ASCII data stream that
can print to a native PDF printer.

The printer is a Xerox 4622 and can handle PDF's.

I've finally got my drawer selection working, but now my spool file
goes on hold with the error below...., reason code 5.

I see a way to specify a parameter for vertical resolution in the API
but I have no idea how use it. I am using an example program for the
API that I think Vern posted. I posted my program @
http://code.midrange.com/f1b481e9fc.html

My printer can do 600DPI. How can I specify the resolution? Thanks
