You could setup the cl to cpysplf (with prtctl *FCFC) to a pf and have a batch ftp to send, then on the other end you could have a batch job to ovrprtf (with prtctl *FCFC) and copy the pf to the print file and print it. <p>Also, I have worked in an environment where we used SNDNETSPLF and theat seemed to work well (as I recall). I do not know if this is an option for you, but it would probably be less setup if it is. <p>HTH, <p>Joe

Thanks Joe. <p>One potential problem with the cpysplf might be that the spool file is an invoice that includes a form overlay. Do you know if it would keep the overlay in this method? <p>Does SNDNETSPLF use SNADS? The AS400 I'm sending to is in Canada, and we want to avoid the long distance phone costs associated with the dial up methods.

Yes (someone correct me if I am wrong), I believe SNDNETSPLF uses SNADS. As for the overlay, would it be practical for the overlay to exist at the destination? If so, then you could add this to the OVRPRTF on the remote machine. <p>Joe

If you are going IP over to another AS/400, just set up a remote outq. <p>CRTOUTQ OUTQ(OTHER400) <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RMTPRTQ(AS400OUTQ) <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AUTOSTRWTR(1) <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CNNTYPE(*IP) <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TRANSFORM(*NO) <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INTNETADR('999.999.999.999') <p>When output is placed in this queue, it will automatically send it to the other AS/400 and place it on the outq specified in RMTPRTQ

We would like to automatically FTP the output of a program (the spool file) to another AS/400 automatically. Has anyone ever done anything like this?

I have been trying to move a spool file from one AS/400 to another, using the rmtoutq. Both As/400's host tables have the other's information added. I have made sure that LPR server is started on both As/400s. When I put a spool file to the rmtoutq, the file status is SND, however no output is generated on the other AS/400's printer and no messages are in the Qsysopr msgq. <p>Do you have any other suggestions?
