Problem Areas for Consideration
If you then place a spooled file in the printer's output queue and it
goes to MSGW (message wait) status with MSGCPA3394 “Load
form type '&4' device &5 writer &1. (G B I H R C)” then chances are
good that the spooled file will print once you answer this message
with a “G.”
However, if the spooled file stays in RDY (ready) status or goes to
PND (pending) status without printing or if the WTR ends you can
look in the Message queue you specified in the devd, the SYSOPR
message queue or the writer job log for messages that may
indicate why the spooled file is not printing or why the WTR ended.
To look in the message queue you specified in the devd or the
SYSOPR message queue, simply Type, DSPMSG, then press F4 (to
Prompt the cmd) and enter either your queue name/library or
*SYSOPR. You should see the a message indicating that the job
was submitted and then above that the failure. You may press F1
on that message to obtain the second level text. If you are referred
to the WTR job log for additional information, refer to the following
instructions.
To look at the writer job, do the following:
NOTE: Check to see if the writer is still active.
1. On the iSeries OS command line, type the following:
WRKJOB JOB(writer-name) The writer name is typically the
same name given to the device description. Press the Enter
key. This brings you to the Select Job panel or the Work with
Job panel. If you are at the Select Job panel, the most current
writer job is at the top of the list. Place a 1 in the Option field to
the left of the most recent WTR job and press the Enter key.
If the writer has ended, take menu option 4 (Work with spooled
files) on the Work with Job panel. From the Work with Job
Spooled Files panel, select Option 5 (Display) to display the
QPJOBLOG spooled file or Option 2 (Change) to requeue the
spooled file to a different output queue so it can be printed and
investigated. Make any suggested corrections, restart the
writer, and re-submit the job.
