Coding the TAG and SPOOL commands rather than using LPR EXEC has fixed the immediate problem. Thank you I hit a socket problem -
DMTLPR083E Socket error on link XRXSTD request=Bind DMTLPR083E return code=- 1 error number=13 (Permission denied) but I found an answer in the archives, and I have specified SECURE=NO in the EPARM field. I'm not sure why the name of the link would need to be different to the printer name specified in the PARM statement, so I have changed that. And after a lifetime of using RSCS I have been shown that there is a continuation character for PARM statements ;-) Regards Ian Jones UKOSG - Infrastructure Specialist EDS ITO - UK mainframe Software Services 4 Roundwood Avenue Uxbridge, UB11 1BQ Phone: +44 (0)7790 492056 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mainframe.uk.eds.com <http://www.mainframe.uk.eds.com/> This email contains information which is confidential and may be privileged.
