printer_raw_redirection

Redirects WRITE statements through the Windows print spooler as RAW data types.

Restriction: This tunable is supported for .NET COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-----printer_raw_redirection=----.-TRUE-.-------><
                                   +-FALSE+

Parameters:

TRUE	Redirect WRITE statements to files defined with the ASSIGN TO PRINTER syntax through the Windows print spooler and process them as RAW data types.
FALSE	Output is sent through the printer driver or directly to the printer port; see printer_redirection.

Properties:

Default:	FALSE
IDE equivalent:	None

Comments:

This tunable is dependent on printer redirection being on, which you can do by setting the printer_redirection tunable or by calling the PC_PRINTER_REDIRECTION_PROC routine.
