Has anyone gotten “PTR2” to work with any versioin of Hercules?? I’ve got 4.6 and have tried these settings: ? #000E 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt lpp=66 fcb=1:11,4:1,5:5,8:10,14:6,19:4,24:7,34:2,44:6,49:4,54:7,63:8,66:3 optprint # PTR2 000E 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt fcb=0111040105050810140619042407340244064904540763086603 #PTR2 #000E 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt nofcbcheck? # PTR2 #000E?? 1403?? Units/PTR2.txt???????????? # PTR2 ? But HASP won’t start the printer at all. ? Thanks

Yes, I have, both with Hercules 3.13 and SDL Hercules 4.5.
?
In my configuration file, I defined 00E as
?
00E 1403 1403 sockdev
?
to which I connect the virtual1403 program of Matthew Wilson:
?
https://github.com/racingmars/virtual1403
?
Once the IPL is finished (when message PEEK initialization complete appears), I type the following commands at the console:
?
hasp cold
mts *hsp
mts *las
$list 0
$release ex
%empty
?
I am not sure that virtual1403 produces the right spacing for the front/back pages, but the final output is quite satifying.
?
Cheers,

I've got 4.6 and have tried these settings:
#000E 1403 Units/PTR2.txt lpp=66
fcb=1:11,4:1,5:5,8:10,14:6,19:4,24:7,34:2,44:6,49:4,54:7,63:8,66:3
optprint # PTR2
000E 1403 Units/PTR2.txt
fcb=0111040105050810140619042407340244064904540763086603 #PTR2
#000E 1403 Units/PTR2.txt nofcbcheck # PTR2
#000E 1403 Units/PTR2.txt # PTR2
But HASP won't start the printer at all. I don't know MTS, but I do know Hercules, and you're doing it wrong. A 1403 model printer does not use a FCB. Only 3203 and 3211 model printers use FCBs. Model 1403 printers use carriage control tapes: * * * * * Now whether that is causing your problem or not, I do not know. As I said, I don't know MTS! Sorry! I hope that helps some! P.S. Also, FWIW, in the SDL 4.x Hyperion version of Hercules, the 'nofcbcheck' option has been deprecated, and the 'optprint' option isn't supported at all. -- "Fish" (David B.

Now that you mention it, the definition below works fine with SDL Hercules 4.5 for me: 000E 3211 Units/PTR2.txt lpp=66 fcb=11:1,1:4,5:5,10:8,6:14,4:19,7:24,2:34,6:44,4:49,7:54,8:63,3:66 It will produce proper front/back pages. You might have to devise some mechanism to convert PTR2.txt to a PDF after a job, and reset it. In the past, I remember using a script to convert, and the HTTP server to reset.

Yes, I have it working and it starts, but I can honestly say I use it, or to be more honest really know how to use it much.? It does work but I need a much better knowledge of MVS than I have to utilize it.?? It does however start just
fine.
I am using it as an Ip sockedev, and the IP address is due to my local configuration, it resides on a windows server utilizing hercprint, and the MVS instance is on a RaspberryPi running Linux.
000F????? 3211????? 172.30.0.181:3211 sockdev????????? #JES2 PRT2
?
For the primary printer I am using
000E????? 1403????? 172.30.0.181:1403 sockdev????????? #JES2 PRT1
?
If I can supply you any additional info I certainly will, but I honestly don’t have much and value the other members here that actually know what they are doing.

I hate to venture this, but – maybe you last line if you omit the Units part will work – not sure why you have that in there.
Try:
000E????? 1403????? PRT2.txt
?
See if that will start for you.? For fcb= and lpp= portions I have no knowedge of butit may just be the “Units/” that is causing your problem in the conf file.

Hmmm ... This group is about MTS (Michigan Terminal System), not MVS. Who is confused here, you or me?? :-) Cheers, Rene FERLAND, Montreal

Obviously me, my apologies. I have both groups going to the same folder and apparently have gotten too old.
