What do you do for z/OS printing in a development <<context? <<The requirement is to be able to print small listings locally and conveniently. The <<difference between today, where we FTP the listing to a PC and print, and <<tomorrow, is that I want the carriage control characters to be honored. I define <<small as less than 5000 lines per report and maybe 5 reports per day. <<I've spent several lovely hours cruising the INFOPRINT website and getting <<reacquainted with PSF, AFP, and their cousins. Most of this technology qualifies <<as gross overkill for my needs. I did not see anything directly on point that could <<be considered lightweight. <<Is there an easy way to tell Jes2 about a TCPIP connected printer and to have the <<printer respond to basic CC commands? No fancy forms or checks to be printed, <<just short reports. <<Thanks for your ideas, comments, and grand one liners. <<Edward Long << ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
