I vaguely remember encountering this about 10 years ago in a Sequoia/UV conversion. I think there is/was a limit of 14 or so that can be open at one time. I don't think there is/was a config param work around. If you do: SETPTR n,... SETPTR n+1,... SETPTR n+2,... Etc. I think you'll find that error message once you hit about n+14. I don't recall how to explicitly close a particular channel so you can open another. Anyone? In our case, I think we didn't need to actually print to more than 14 printers at once. We converted the pick code so that a program would call a utility subroutine to map the particular printers it needed onto one of the channels 0-14. If you have to print to more than 14 at once, probably writeseq to files & spool later. If you have to print to more than 14 at once, may the Lord's mercy be upon you. Or Clif Oliver's. I think he sells a print environment handler designed to make up for UniVerse's inadequacies.
