SET TERM errors

[Steve Nott]

I am trying to change the page length of a printer using:

SET TERM LTA3/PAGE=48/PERM

but I get the following error

%SET-W-NOTSET, error modifying DKA200:
-CLI-E-IVDEVTYPE, invalid device type, specify a mailbox device

Can anyone help please?

Steve,

Is the printer spooled?

LTA3 is probably spooled to DKA200.
Do SHOW DEV/FULL LTA3 and check.

You will have to stop the queue, and
SET DEVICE/NOSPOOL LTA3:
then make the change and set the device spooled and start the queue. You will want to add the SET TERM command to the startup DCL for that queue where the LTA3 device is setup.

Success - many thanks once again
