Transferring a PC Print File to the Host, ATOE3 | Nlynx ETU400

Transferring a PC Print File to the Host:

The PRTTO3X command allows you to transfer PC-DOS print files to the host and add them to a host output queue.

For this command, supply the PC file name, the host output queue name, and optionally, host printer information such as lines per inch, characters per inch, and number of copies.

Once you have supplied the information, ETU will transfer the file to the host and add the file to the AS/400 output queue that you specify. The file will print when it reaches the top of the output queue, unless you put a hold on it by entering *YES in the HOLD parameter.

NOTE: Always use the translation table member ATOE3 in file

TRANSLATE with this command. This table transfers print files from ASCII to EBCDIC.
