Problem Summary:
A separator page is being printed before every AS/400 spooled file. Is there a way to turn this off?
Resolution:
IBM OS/400 supports two different types of separator pages. File separators contain the job name, user name, job number, date, time, file name, file number, and copy number. They are controlled through each spooled file's attributes as well as the Start Printer Writer ( STRPRTWTR ) command. Job separators, on the other hand, contain the job name, user name, job number, date, and time, but not the file name, file number, or copy number. They are controlled through the printer's output queue.
To disable file separators, either use the Change Printer File ( CHGPRTF ) command to set the File separators (FILESEP) parameter to 0 for all printer files and then generate all new spooled files or use the Change Command Default ( CHGCMDDFT ) command to change the Start Printer Writer ( STRPRTWTR ) command so the File separators (FILESEP) parameter defaults to 0, then end and restart all writers. To disable job separators, end the writer, use the Change Output Queue ( CHGOUTQ ) command to set the Job separators (JOBSEP) parameter to 0, and then restart the writer.
