| Tara,
for what kind of 'definitions' are you looking for for PRTSMB and
LATSYM ?
Manuals ? Sources ? Programming Information ?

Does that help you help me? :-)
Thanks,

| Tara,
you might want to obtain an OpenVMS documentation set and start by
looking up the pointers to LATSYM and PRTSMB in the OpenVMS Master
Index.
For problems/solution type of information, access the STARS
OPERATING-SYS database and search for the term 'LATSYM'. Another place
to find common LATSYM-related problems is my notes-conference
HAN::LOOPING_LATSYM.
HTH,
Volker

| 245.4 | But WHAT are they? | BOOKIE::PANGAKIS | Tara DTN 381-2433 | Fri Feb 07 1997 09:53 | 10 |
| Yes. I have the URLs to the OpenVMS documentation.
I've been to your notes file.
But, with all the information on how to WORK with LATSYM
and PRTSMB, I still don't know WHAT they are!
I'll keep searching...

| 245.5 | LATSYM and PRTSMB functionality | HAN::HALLE | Volker Halle MCS @HAO DTN 863-5216 | Fri Feb 07 1997 14:23 | 24 |
| Tara,
printjobs are entered to print-queues on OpenVMS. Print-symbiont are
responsible to read the file to be printed and send the data to a
printer.
LATSYM provides the functionality of printing to printers connected to
the LAN via a LAT-speaking device. The printers can be connected to
terminal servers (via serial or parallel port) or even can have their
own LAN interface (and built-in LAT implementation).
LATSYM also allows the sharing of printers between multiple
non-clustered systems over the LAN. LATSYM will establish a connection
to the printer-port via the LAT protocol when starting a print-job and then
release this connection at the end of the print-job. Connection-requests
can be queued at the terminal-server and the LAT-session will be
established, once the printer-port has become available again.
PRTSMB provides this functionality for printers DIRECTLY CONNECTED to
the OpenVMS system (serial or parallel port).
Telling about possible problems is a different story :-)
Volker.

Thanks very much. This is EXACTLY what I need.
