Problem:

When spooling a PCL report to a Print Queue on the iSeries via the Electronic Forms Print Server, the user can specify the following:

• Print Copies
• Hold/Relase Status
• Save Status
• New User Data Field value
• New Formtype Field value

These attributes seem to get ignored when the Print Server processes the reports.

Solution:

Solution 1

Stop the Print Server and got to FILE > SETTINGS. Make sure that the option "Enable 1024 byte AS/400 command lines" is enabled. This option gives longer command lines and will ensure that the parmeters controlling the options above do not get truncated.

Solution 2

If the problem persists...

Step 1

Exit completely out of al the WinSpool products.

Step 2

Locate the following files and either rename them or delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CSFTP32.OCX
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WNSPIP32.DLL

Example: Rename CSFTP32.OCX to CSFTP32.OCX.OLD

Step 3

Download and install the WinSpool/400 32-bit TCP/IP API.
