Re: RSCS: Printing to Ricoh Copier with LPR
Les - I didn't mean to imply that I was using the DIAGD4 EXEC for the Ricoh problem. I only offered it as a way to solve changing the ORIGINID on spool files. I haven't tried to see if the new ORIGINID would be passed to the Ricoh in the p record. I only use DIAGD4 in a DVM that receives print from VSE, processes it and then sends it on to RSCS for printing. My purpose was so have 'VSE' print on the separator page, not the name of the DVM. /Fran On Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:40:35 -0400 Les Geer (607-429-3580) said: Has the use of DIAGD4 resolved the situation?

The originid is what actually gets passed. If the report came from the vse system to the CMS user, then the origin id is the name of the VSE guest, and that can't be changed that I can see. We would need to somehow alter the origin id in order to be able to have a valid user id. We need to have each print job tied to a specific person and not a vm guest name. As others have suggested, you can use Diagnose x'F8' to change a CMS users spool file origin information. From VSE, do you have an NJE link defined to RSCS? If so, I believe you can specify origin information when you submit the job to VSE. Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development
