OK...I'm guessing. I know just enough to be dangerous. If you specify the lpr-filename attribute in the printer definition or elsewhere, IP PrintWay will use that name when it passes the file to the remote LPD. The trick is to find a way to plug the JES2 jobname in there on the fly. I think you ought to be able to do this with a IP PrintWay exit, probably the begin data set exit. You need to modify the XTPOPTNS to plug the jobname into the XTPO_LPR_FILE_NAME field.
NOW....the next question is how to get your mitts on the JES job name. It is in the sysout-job-name attribute, but I am not sure if you can access it in a PrintWay exit. Seems like it ought to be available. You might have to go after it using SWBTUREQ.
Blue sky future idea: WIBNI you could specify something like lpr-filename=$JESJOBN in the printer definition and have Infoprint Server plug this in for you? If you think this is important, then I suggest that you have your IBM Marketing Rep submit a requirement to IBM.
