Hi all,

I just wanted confirmation that the MPE/iX CI command PRINT ignores
carriage control in all cases. In other words there is no way to print a
file and have embedded carriage control characters cause page ejects,
etc.? On-line HELP for PRINT sez: "If filename has embedded carriage
control characters (CCTL), then PRINT will insert a blank in place of
the CCTL in the outfile." This seems to be confirmed by several tests I
have run.

What I want - if I specify "FILE LPCC;DEV=LP;CCTL" and then do "PRINT
foo;OUT=*lpcc" I want the internal carriage control to be recognized by
the command. Failing that I want a CCTL parameter on PRINT like FCOPY
has (FCOPY no spreche POSIX names). I use the print command to get
hardcopy from the POSIX shell, and it would be really nice to have it
recognize carriage control.

Hey Jeff, this sounds like a (easy) POSIX smoothing issue!

Regards,

Lee Courtney
