We have migrated the BaaN server from RS6000 (AIX O.S.) to an H.P server in W2000 O.S.

Now all BaaN conections must be in BW, and are O.K.

But we have an application that must connect to the BaaN server W2K in BA mode (ascii terminal). It is a Barcode Trakker with an Ascii emulator, that do the Warehouse Receptions.

I think, I must to use that conection across the RS6000 where I have defined the User, and the remote User.

In the AIX .profile of the user I use this

DS_AS=se-svbaan1!bshell
export DS_AS

It run perfect, but the problem is that I can't print. When I do this the session is inhibited.

Can anyone help me.

Excuse my english

:confused:

Heeeeeeelp me please............

Any W2K guru know about this.....

Thanks..

The best solution in your case, but which you probably won't like, is to rewrite the barcode interface from the current screen capturing method to pure DDC. Then you can really switch of the RS6000. :(

As for printing, just one question jumps to my mind: can you print to that same device from another (windows) client?

Is any printing prohibited?

You can consider printing to a file on disk using a ASCIT like device (maybe with a printer definition file...) and have "at" schedule a print *.* del *.* command on the directory where you put your printfiles into...

It is just a conceptual idea, I have not tested this.

Yes I can print from a BW client in a Zebra printer with CodeBar.

I think the error is that in a BA Session there is not a BWPRINT to manage ReportSend between W2K Spool and local Terminal.
