Hi All,
Has anyone ever sent a file to a Printer ?
Is it possible to do it in DataStage ?
The printer is a remote printer. Checks are supposed to be printed out by the printer.
Thanks in advance

Sending file to Print Que
Moderators: chulett, rschirm, roy
Yes, you are right.
Its a PDF file. So i think all i have to do is FTP it to the Print Server. I have its IP Address. It should automatically get placed on the print que.
i have to ask the client some more details. How exactly are they doing it currently, outside of DataStage.
i'll keep you posted, most likely next week....
have a good weekend

You can do anything for which there exists a command line in DataStage, either through ExecSH/ExecDOS or through DSExecute (or through Perform or Execute in DataStage BASIC).
Whether it makes sense to do so is an entirely different question.
For example, you could invoke a script to perform the FTP operation you suggest. If it were a text file, you could invoke the lp or lpr command directly. And so on.
