Customer wants to send spool data from the UNIX machine to the                  
AS/400 and provide a automatic translation from ASCII to EBCDIC.                
                                                                                
He was able to define the remote output queue but the data                      
arrive in ASCII. Do we have any parameter to set to provide                     
a conversion to EBCDIC.                                                         
                                                                                
A:                                                                              
In the following answer, I'm assuming that the UNIX system is AIX.  If         
the UNIX system is not AIX, then you may need to contact the vendor of          
that UNIX operating system to see if some similar procedure can be              
activated.                                                                      
                                                                                
There is an internally accessible web site with a web page that should          
assist you with printing from AIX to an AS/400.  If you're unable to            
access the following URL, please reopen this item so we can imbed the
