Or one that just uses basic OS/400 commands and definitions? Well, you can, with just a few simple user profiles, distribution entries and the SNDNETSPLF command. >> CLICK here for the full tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci934614,00.html?track=NL-17 =================================================================== Answers to Other Programmer Questions =================================================================== ANOTHER WAY TO OUTPUT A SPOOL FILE TO MULTIPLE PRINTERS Search400.com member Gail Lorzing has written code for the CL that she uses to send duplicate spool files to different printers. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci929529,00.html?track=NL-17 ERROR WHEN TRYING TO SEND A SPOOLFILE What do you do when you get the message "User not enrolled in system distribution directory" when trying to use the SNDNETSPLF command? Several Search400.com members in the discussion forum had suggestions. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84636/1664 RETAIN USER DATA ON SPOOLFILE TRANSFER Search400.com member Vijayakumar Kannan provides a way to identify what each spoolfile or report is all about. The user can eliminate the display of every QSYSPRT spooolfile under his user ID and see what information is displayed to determine if it's the correct report. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci902058,00.html?track=NL-17 PRINT MULTIPLE COPIES OF SPOOLFILE One user writes, "We have a shipping document that prints four copies (we have different colored paper for each copy). The problem is when the shipper runs onto more than one page, all of copy one will print first, then all of copy two, etc. This will not work for us because we have the color-coded paper for each copy. What we would like to do is print all of the page ones first, then all of the page twos, etc. Is this even possible?" "Ckelly" knew just what to do. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84636/4341 ___________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS: ___________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= LIVE WEBCAST | Strategies, solutions and services for integrating UCCnet Date & time: Thursday, Nov. 6, 1 p.m. EST (18:00 GMT) Guest speaker: Thomas A.
