Richard,

What do you do on the old machine that instructs the system to put the =
spooled debug job on hold?

Thanks.

David,

All of our production QTP's run in batch and are called from one =
standard Quick screen which submits them using the ADDJOBSCDE command =
with an SBMDBJOB embedded in it.
=20
They all go to an active output queue, which has a printer connected - =
if the log files are needed (rarely) they are released to the printer. =
We don't want to lose them altogether since they are a valuable problem =
solving tool.On the 'old' machine they are appended to the output queue =
in 'held' status, on the new machine they are appended in 'rls' status =
and since it is active make their way to the printer ...
=20
The problem we have is that while we THINK we have copied all the user =
and batch profiles, job descriptions, queues, printers etc without =
changes we have obviously overlooked something - but what ???
=20
I have found some stuff on one of the IBM sites ( =
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/c415713506.htm ) =
which covers how the printing subsystem works - hopefully the answer =
will lie on there somewehere ...
=20
cheers

Richard,
=20
We use OVRDBF STDOUT to QTEMP/QTJUNK in (most of) our submitted CL =
programs that call QTP. Therefore, there's no need to delete the print =
file, as that copy of QTEMP library disappears when the submitted job =
ends..
=20
Are your QTP logs actually printing or are they being spooled to an =
output queue that isn't connected to a printer?
=20
What were you doing on your old machine to keep the QTP logs from =
spooling, and from printing?
=20
Are your QTP's running interactively or in batch? Are they called from =
CL or QUICK (or ?)?
=20
Thanks.

We are currently migrating our PH app to a new machine and have struck=20
an interesting and environmentally insensitive issue - we can't stop=20
4-5,000 pages of QTP log files from printing each day.=20
We have reviewed the setup of all the print queues and job descriptions=20

there may be something in the PH startup files.=20
Does anybody out there have any ideas ??=20
