IS THERE A WAY TO SEND RS/6000 PRINT DATA TO THE PRINTER

ITEM: RTA000036986



QUESTION:                                                                       
My customer is going to be testing DB2 on an RS/6000.  As part of the           
test, they want to be able to use their printers that are currently             
on their MVS system.  Long range, we will migrate the printers to               
the RS/6000 using PSF/6000, but short term, we would like to send print         
data from the RS/6000 to the JES spool.  Do you know if this is possible        
and if so, what would be involved?  Once the data is on the JES spool           
destined for the correct output class, PSF/MVS will print it as they            
do today.

A: Yes this is possible.  There are several OEM vendor that provided            
   products that support RJE.  I am assuming you are using SNA on the           
   host system.                                                                 
                                                                               
   The following is list of vendors that provide products on the RISC           
   System/6000 that support RJE.
