SNDTCPSPLF (Send TCP/IP Spooled File)

SNDTCPSPLF Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Send TCP/IP Spooled File (SNDTCPSPLF) command sends a spooled file to be printed on a remote system. The remote system must be running TCP/IP. The SNDTCPSPLF command is the iSeries version of the TCP/IP LPR (Line Printer Requester) command.

 

Required Parameters

RMTSYS
Specifies the remote system name to which the print request is sent.

To be successful, the name must be valid, and the system must be able to communicate with the local system. You can assign names to an internet address. Use the Work with TCP/IP host table entries option on the Configure TCP/IP menu (CFGTCP command). A remote name server also maps remote system names to internet addresses. Use the Change remote name server option on the CFGTCP menu to specify a remote name server.

If this parameter is left blank, you are prompted for the INTNETADR parameter when the Enter key is pressed.

*INTNETADR: The value of the INTNETADR parameter is used.

remote-system: Specify the remote system name to which the print request is sent.

PRTQ
Specifies the name of the destination printer queue. For destination systems that are iSeries, this is the name of an output queue to which the spooled file is sent.

If a library name qualifier is not specified, the library list of the sending user ID on the destination system is searched. If not found or not authorized, QGPL/QPRINT is used as the default. The output queue is usually specified as library name/output queue name (for example, QGPL/OUTQ1). For destination systems that are not iSeries, this name is system-dependent. This name can be either the actual name of the device or the name of a printer queue for the device. The name used for the OS/2 operating system is the actual name of the device. Often, the name used for the UNIX operating system is the name of the printer queue for the device. This parameter is limited to 128 characters.

Note: On some systems, the printer queue name may be case sensitive. To preserve the lowercase letters in a printer queue name, enclose the printer queue name in apostrophes 'MyPrtQ'.

FILE
Specifies the name of the spooled file that is sent to the specified system and printer. The file name is the same file name that is displayed with the Work with Spooled File (WRKSPLF) command.

 

Optional Parameters

JOB
Specifies the name of the job that created the spooled file whose data records are to be sent.

*: The job that issued this command is the job that created the spooled file.

job-name: Specify the qualified name of the job that created the spooled file.

user-name/job-name: Specify the user name and the name of the job that created the spooled file.

job-number/user-name/job-name: Specify the job number, the user name, and the name of the job that created the spooled file. The name of the job has a fully specified form of job-number/user-name/job-name. If no job number or user name is given, all jobs currently running on the system are searched for a match against the job name.

SPLNBR
Specifies the number of the spooled file from the job whose data records are to be sent.

*ONLY: One spooled file from the job has the specified file name. The number of the spooled file is not necessary. If *ONLY is specified and more than one spooled file has the specified file name, an error message is sent.

*LAST: The spooled file with the highest number and the specified file name is used.

*ANY: The spooled file number is not used to determine which spooled file is used. Use this value when the job system name parameter or the spooled file creation date and time parameter is to take precedence over the spooled file number when selecting a spooled file.

spooled-file-number: Specify the number of the spooled file having the specified file name whose data records are to be sent.

JOBSYSNAME
Specifies the name of system where the job that created the spooled file (JOB parameter) ran. This parameter is considered after the job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, and spooled file number parameter requirements have been met.

*ONLY: There is one spooled file with the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and spooled file creation date and time.

*CURRENT: The spooled file created on the current system with the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and creation date and time is used.

*ANY: The job system name is not used to determine which spooled file is used. Use this value when the spooled file creation date and time parameter is to take precedence over the job system name when selecting a spooled file.

system name: Specify the name of the system where the job that created the spooled file ran.

CRTDATE
Specifies the date and time the spooled file was created. This parameter is considered after the job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and job system name parameter requirements have been met.

*ONLY: There is one spooled file with the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and job system name.

*LAST: The spooled file with the latest creation date and time of the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and job system name is used.

Element 1: Date spooled file was created

date: Specify the date the spooled file was created.

Element 2: Time spooled file was created

*ONLY: There is one spooled file with the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, job system name, and spooled file creation date.

*LAST: The spooled file with the latest creation time of the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, job system name, and spooled file creation date is used.

time: Specify the time the spooled file was created.

DESTTYP
Specifies the type of destination system to which the spooled file is being sent. This information allows the SNDTCPSPLF command to send the file in a format that is most likely to be received and processed correctly on the destination system. When sending to another iSeries, this parameter should be *AS400.

*OTHER: The destination system is not an iSeries and is not using Print Services Facility/2.

*AS400: The destination system is an iSeries. If TRANSFORM(*NO) is specified, a duplicate of the spooled file is created on the destination system. If the spooled file is *SCS or *AFPDS and TRANSFORM(*YES) is specified, the spooled file is transformed to ASCII and spooled as *USERASCII on the destination iSeries.

*PSF2: The destination system is using Print Services Facility/2. This destination system can receive both ASCII data and Advanced Function Printer data stream (AFPDS) data. This means that in addition to sending ASCII data to a PSF/2, you can also send a spooled file of device type *AFPDS. When sending *AFPDS files, consider any external resources of the file. These resources, such as fonts and overlays, must also reside on the destination system to allow the file to print correctly.

TRANSFORM
Specifies whether to make use of the host print transform function to transform a SNA character string (SCS) or Advanced Function Printing data stream (AFPDS) into ASCII data. If you specify DESTTYP(*OTHER), you typically specify TRANSFORM(*YES). This is because most non-iSeries destination systems do not support printing of non-ASCII data. The non-iSeries destination systems do receive and correctly process ASCII data.

Note: If you specify TRANSFORM(*YES), you cannot use the USRDTATFM parameter.

*YES: Use the host print transform.

*NO: Do not use the host print transform.

MFRTYPMDL
Specifies the manufacturer, type, and model for a printer using the host print transform function.

This parameter is prompted only when TRANSFORM(*YES) is specified.

*IBM42011: The IBM 4201-1 Proprinter is used.

manufacturer-type-model: Specify the manufacturer, type, and model for a printer using the host print transform function. Specify one of the values in Table 1 that matches the device.

*WSCST: The value of the WSCST parameter is used.

Table 1 lists the printer values for the manufacturer, type, and model.

USRDTATFM
Specifies the qualified name of the program used to transform the spooled file data. User data transform programs must be written to the Writer Transform Exit Program interface. For information on this interface, see the Application Program Interfaces (APIs) topic in the Information Center.

*NONE: No data transform program is specified.

The name of the data transform program can be qualified by one of the following library values:

*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

data-transform-program-name: Data transform program used to transform the spooled file data.

INTNETADR
Specifies the internet address of the remote system to which the print request is sent.

This parameter is accessed by entering *INTNETADR for the RMTSYS parameter.

internet-address: Specify the internet address of the remote system. The internet address is specified in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255. An internet address is not valid if it has a value of all binary ones or all binary zeros for the network identifier (ID) portion or the host ID portion of the address. If the internet address is entered from a command line, the address must be enclosed in apostrophes.

WSCST
Specifies an object that consists of a table of attributes used to customize a given ASCII device, such as a workstation or printer. Character presentation, font specifications, and control key sequences are examples of characteristics that can be customized. This parameter is prompted only when TRANSFORM(*YES) is specified.

If the WSCST parameter is used in conjunction with the MFRTYPMDL parameter, information that is specified in the workstation customization object takes precedence over the MFRTYPMDL parameter.

*NONE: Do not specify a workstation customizing object.

The name of the WSCST can be qualified by one of the following library values:

*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

workstation-customizing-object: Specify a valid workstation customizing object that was created with the Create Work Station Customizing Object (CRTWSCST) command.

DLTSPLF
Specifies whether or not to delete the specified spooled file after it has been successfully sent. No guarantee can be made as to the correct printing of the sent file. Only correct transmission can be verified.

*NO: Do not delete the spooled file after it has been successfully sent.

*YES: Delete the spooled file after it has been successfully sent.

DESTOPT
Specifies the destination-dependent options. These options may be specific to a particular implementation of an LPD print server. When this parameter is not specified, the SNDTCPSPLF command sends default options that are common to all LPD print servers. The options specified by this parameter are inserted into the control file generated by the SNDTCPSPLF command, one option per line, and sent to the specified LPD print server. The options specified by this parameter must have the following format:

"option1 option2 option3...optionN"

where each option is separated from the next by one or more blanks.

Options typically have a format of <control characters><value>. An example is 

 "-oTITLE=LPR"

where "-o" are the control characters and "TITLE=LPR" is the value. SNDTCPSPLF examines the first character of each option to determine if it is a reserved control character. The following control characters cannot be specified as their values are determined by SNDTCPSPLF. If any of the following control characters are specified, the option is ignored and a warning message is generated. 

C         T
H         U
I         W
L         1
M         2
N         3
P         4
S         k

For example "Class=ASCII" would not be allowed because the "C" control character is reserved for use by SNDTCPSPLF. However, "-Class=ASCII" would be permitted.

The control character "X" is allowed, but the value of "AS/400" used with it is not permitted. For example, "XMyLPD" can be specified, but "XAS/400" cannot be. The option "XAS/400" is reserved for use by the SNDTCPSPLF command. It is used to indicate to another iSeries that the request is coming from an iSeries.

The option "XAIX" controls how multiple copies are sent to the printer. This option specifies that the data and control files are to be sent multiple times, once for each copy. The default is to send the data and control files once, with multiple print commands in the control file.

The following print "filters" are supported by SNDTCPSPLF (see section 7 of RFC 1179): 

c    n
d    p
f    r
g    t
l    v

If one of these characters is specified as the first character in a destination option, the character is used on the "print file" command in the control file. Only the first occurrence of one of these characters in this position is used in the control file. Subsequent use of these characters in this position is ignored. If none of these options is specified, the default character "l" is used on the "print file" command, which prints the file "as is" without filtering out any control characters.

If "J" is specified as the first character of a destination option, the remaining characters in the option are used to override the default job name for the banner page (see RFC 1179, section 7.4). For instance, to specify a job name of /nff, specify: 

 DESTOPT('J/nff')

Only the first occurrence of this option is used to override the job name. If this option is not specified, the spooled file name is used as the job name (the default).

You can enable an auto-queue option by using the destination dependent option XAUTOQ on the SNDTCPSPLF command (or on the CRTOUTQ or CHGOUTQ commands). When you use the auto-queue option, files are sent as before unless the remote system times out during the transform. If this happens, the transformed spool files are sent back to the same output queue using the AS/400 LPD server. When a remote writer is running, it will then send the transformed spooled file to the remote system.

destination-dependent-options: Specify the destination-dependent options.

SEPPAGE
Specifies whether or not a separator page is requested when the spooled file is printed on the remote system.

Note: A separator page may not be printed in all cases. Printing of separator pages depends on whether the LPD implementation on the receiving system honors the separator page request. Some LPD implementations ignore the SEPPAGE parameter and print or do not print a separator page by default.

*YES: Request a separator page.

*NO: Do not request a separator page.

Examples for SNDTCPSPLF

The following examples assume that the spooled file is the only one with that name within the job under which you are currently running when making the request.

Example 1: Sending a File to Another iSeries 

SNDTCPSPLF RMTSYS(SYS1)
  PRTQ(DISTRIB/LAMP) FILE(SALES)
  DESTTYP(*AS400) TRANSFORM(*NO)

This command sends the spooled file named SALES to the output queue LAMP in the library DISTRIB on the remote iSeries system SYS1. An exact duplicate of the spooled file is created on the destination system because it is an iSeries system-to-iSeries system transfer as specified on the DESTTYP parameter. The spooled file is not transformed.SNDTCPSPLF

Example 2: Sending a File to a System of Type *OTHER 

SNDTCPSPLF RMTSYS(SUN) PRTQ(MOON)
  FILE(STARS) DESTTYP(*OTHER)
  TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HPIIID)

This command sends the spooled file STARS to the printer queue MOON on the remote system SUN. If the spooled file data stream is SCS, the file is transformed to the correct ASCII format for a Hewlett-Packard IIID Printer.

Example 3: Sending a File to a System of Type *OTHER 

SNDTCPSPLF RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)
  PRTQ(MOON) FILE(STARS) DESTTYP(*OTHER)
  TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*WSCST)
  WSCST(USERLIB/QWPMYPRT)
  INTNETADR('9.5.255.128')

This command sends the spooled file STARS to the printer queue MOON on the remote system with the Internet address 9.5.255.128. If the spooled file data stream is SCS, the file is transformed to the correct ASCII format for a custom printer definition. The workstation customizing object (created with the CRTWSCST command) can be found in file QWPMYPRT, library USERLIB.

Example 4: Sending a File to a System of Type *PSF2 

SNDTCPSPLF RMTSYS(OS2SRVR) PRTQ(PSFQ)
  FILE(JOBLOG) DESTTYP(*PSF2)
  TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*IBM5202)

This command sends the spooled file JOBLOG to the printer queue PSFQ on the remote system OS2SRVR. If the spooled file data stream is SCS, the file is transformed to the correct ASCII format for an IBM 5202 Printer.

Example 5: Using a Transform Program Other than the Host Print Transform 

SNDTCPSPLF RMTSYS(OS2SRVR) PRTQ(PSFQ)
  FILE(JOBLOG) DESTTYP(*PSF2)
  TRANSFORM(*NO) USRDTATFM(library/program)

This command sends the spooled file JOBLOG to the printer queue PSFQ on the remote system OS2SRVR. The file is transformed using the program specified with the USRDTATFM parameter.
