TITLE: ... R320 Setup of TCP/IP IPDS Printers


Creating a Device Description to Support *IPDS Printing on a Network Using the TCP/IP Protocol

This function has been supported in releases R230 through R310, and R360 with the same device description, but these prior releases used the WRKAFP2 command. This command has been replaced with the CRTPSFCFG command. The command creates a new *PSFCFG object in QGPL instead of the old dataarea object. Below is an example of a CRTDEVPRT and CRTPSFCFG.
