Remote Output Queues allow the transfer of spooled output to non local machines:

  • IP connected printers,
  • IP connected systems,
  • SNA connected systems.

The former two is an implementation of lpr for OS/400, while the latter uses SNA for transport.

SNA

No special things to consider for creating an *OUTQ object. An entry for a local QNETSPLF must be enrolled in the system directory on both sending and receiving side, though.

Also the conversion of data to ASCII can take place at the last machine before the job is sent into the ASCII world, so you may set TRANSFORM(*NO) when creating the *OUTQ object.
