Re: Printing Request

This is at page 178 in "OS/400 Printer Device Programming
V4R4" code SC41-5713-03
-----------------------------------------------------------
Working with Job and File Separators
Separator pages are pages that separate one print job or
spooled file from another.
Separator pages for print jobs (job separators) are
specified on the output queue.
For each job having spooled files on the output queue, the
specified number of
separator pages will print at the beginning of the printed
output for each job.
Separator pages for spooled files (file separators) are
specified on the printer file or
printer writer. The specified number of separator pages
will print before each
spooled file.
To print customized separator pages, for example, a banner
separator page, specify
a user exit program on the separator exit program (SEPPGM)
parameter of the
printer device description. The exit program has an
API-like interface and is
described in the manual System API Programming.
A sample exit program (in C and RPG) is in the QUSRTOOL
library. See member
TBSINFO in file QATTINFO in library QUSRTOOL for
information about this
sample exit program.
