Hi,

I have a file in application server i want my program to directly fetch the file from the application server and send it to the printer?

Can any one please help me in this?

Hi Sandeep,

open/read dataset as text file, use WRITE / to output to spool. No way to circumvent the spool.

Hi Clemens & Sandeep, hi everybody.

you may "surround" the write statements with a NEW-PAGE PRINT ON... NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF in order to send the output directly to the printer.

For example:


  WRITE: / 'Hi, on screen'.

  NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
  WRITE: / 'now to the printer'.
  NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

  WRITE: / 'back on screen'.

I hope it helps. Kind regards,

Alvaro
