The error message indicates that the LTA device is not properly spooled to the print queue and the Cobol program tried to write to a LTA device that did not have anything connected to it.
You should be able to use the COPY command to copy a test file to the spooled port as a test.
Note that the "$" is reserved for print queue names created by Digital/Compaq/HP or third party software.
Showing the print queue set up and spooled device set may help trouble shoot the issue.
TCPIP may or may not have anything to do with the issue, depending on what type of print queue you have.
In general for network printing, the preferences are:
1. DCPS network connection.
2. Reverse LAT
3. Telnetsym connection
And only if you have no other way of doing it should you be trying to use the old LPR/LPD. |

Realize too that an LTA device is a LAT device and has nothing to do with TCPIP. A TCPIP based printer would be aTNA device or a BG device.
If the printer is conencted via thenet and has an IP address, then you need to use TCPIP and create the queue apporopriately. If the printer is conencted to a DECserver, then you need to use LAT.
Update this note with the connection type and I'll post an example for you.
Thanks,
Dan |

Actually it is perfectly valid to spool LAT terminal devices to non-LAT print queues. I do it all the time.
It allows you to set up generic print queues with spooled devices. It also allows you to set up spooled devices with DCPS print queues that print to raw TCPIP or DECNET connections.
A LAT port also can be used to set up a spooled device to an LPR printer.
In these cases, the LAT port is never bound to an actual terminal server port. |
