Transfer Spool files from the AS/400 to PC

[Jacques Tardif]

I want to transfer an AS/400 spool file to a PC file. To do so, I did:

1) Create the printer queue MYPRINTQ on my PC (PC's IP address is 1.2.3.4)

2) Add a new local port to MYPRINTQ to redirect to a file

3) I made sure the service TCP/IP Print service was started

4) Share MYPRINTQ. Share name is MYPRINTQ

5) On the AS/400 I created the output queue MYOUTQ as following:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(MYOUTQ) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(MYPRINTQ) AUTOSTRWTR(1)
CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) INTNETADR('1.2.3.4')

So, when I transfer a spool file to MYOUTQ, everything is working fine and
the spool file is redirected to a file on my PC running Windows XP.

Now, I have to do the same on our server running Windows Server 2000. I did
the same steps as described above, but the spool file will not be sent to
the file on the server.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks

You should check if you have the same services running on both Windows PC.
Is something like Printer-Server.

Then I would try to share the printer from another Windows PC just to see if
the share is open and not blocked by an firewall or something like that.

If you have Operations Navigator (or whatever it's called now), you
can copy spooled files directly from your AS/400 to your PC without
setting anything else up.

To do it this way, expand the AS/400 connection for the system with
the files, expand Basic Operations, and click on Printer Output. By
default, you get a list of your spool files (click on Options, Include
to change the options). Click on a file and drag it onto your PC. The
file will be copied into a space delimited text file.

Why don't you let the AS/400 do all the work.
- The PGM creates the printer file
- CRTPF - CPYSPLF - CPYTOSTMF converts the spoolfile and puts it on the
IFS side
- after that you can find it on the shared disk or transfer it via FTP
or retrieve it via a command lanced on the PC.
