I am a newbie in this site but I know anyone here can help me on this problem that I have now. I used to program Java using JDK7 and now I am facing this JTOpen API for AS400-Java interface but my problem now is how to get all the PSF Setting of my Device Description of a certain Writer?

Thanks in advance guys....

Please help.....

  • Maybe a dumb question ... but what are you referring to by 'PSF'? – David G May 22 '12 at 13:10
  • Presuming you mean Print Services Facility, could you describe what you're trying to do? Set up a printer? Retrieve printer attributes (like a utility might want)? Print something? – Buck Calabro May 22 '12 at 14:50
  • Yeah ur right Buck, I would like to get the Print Services Facility Services Settings (i.e. values for "IPDS Pass through", "Release Timer", "Restart Timer", etc..) – user1409705 May 23 '12 at 01:15

Check out the print API's at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/apis/print1a.htm

If you can find an API that provides the information you are looking for, it shouldn't be hard to invoke it from java.

Some of that information is available in com.ibm.as400.access.PrintObject but not all. I'd write a wrapper program/procedure over the Retrieve AFP Information (QPQRAFPI) API, and use JT400 to call that. The equivalent CL command is WRKPSFCFG.

  • yeah,,,that is right Buck, but is there a way to get the data when I use "DSPPSFCFG PSFCFG()"? since that command will display all the psfcfg setting and is there a way that I can get all those data being presented by that command? – user1409705 May 24 '12 at 00:47
  • I am primarily an ILE RPG programmer; Java is not my strength. I would write an ILE RPG program that calls the API and then write a Java program that uses JT400 to call the RPG, which would pass back any parameters needed. I were were forced to do it all in Java, I'd get the JT400 source and write a PSFAttrs similar to AFPResourceAttrs. Then I could do it all with a JT400 PrintObject. – Buck Calabro May 24 '12 at 19:49
  • so maybe i just need a PrintObject exploration.....but I have done it before maybe gonna have to try it again this time....thanks a lot guys.... – user1409705 May 25 '12 at 05:34
