Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to specify a bin from XCALL SPOOL? I did not see anything in the documentation, but wanted to verify before I created logical printers for each bin. I know if using GDI one can use //BIN also, and perhaps this is usable for this situation.

Thanks,

I think embedding //BIN in the print file (or an ESCAPE sequence, if not using GDI printing) is the only option that doesn't involve separate logical printers. Neither SPOOL nor EZSPL have any option for doing this via the XCALL parameters themselves.

However, both interfaces support the ability to specify a prefix file, so you could put the //BIN or ESCAPE commands in separate files (BIN1.PFX, etc.) and specify them in the XCALL statement. Which would effectively accomplish the goal without having to modify the code that generates print files. (But you'd still have to modify the XCALL statements to add the prefix.)
