auto-print from fex code
The old version 5 books that I have say that I can auto-print a .PS formatted held file with the code:

DOS COPY HOLD.PS \\IBIPRINTA\28C2

I'm not really sure how this works. I have tried to get my report to auto-print after the fex runs and I cannot do it. Any hints? The printer I'm trying to print to is \\FORTYMILE\CISO-LJ4050N and the host name is PA0042.


Windows version 768

Maybe use DOS PRINT printername filename

use on the command prompt "HELP PRINT"

you should here say

PRINT \\fortymile\... HOLD.PS
