RE: Using FTPAPI to ftp to a printerfile

["Lammerts, Jack" <j.lammerts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mike,

Yes, that's all. 

Only thing to remember is that you use binary as the representation type
when you FTP the file to the printerfile, thus preventing any data
conversions taking place.

I have it working completely now, but the solution I am using to ftp the
binary file to the printerfile is not very elegant, that's why I was
trying to use Scott's procedures.

Greetings, Jack

Jack,

I see where you are headed here. Cool idea. What are the relevant
parameters
on the print file? Simply userascii?

CRTPRTF FILE(QGPL/FTPPRINT) DEVTYPE(*USERASCII)
