- Yes and no, the problem you have is that without VTAM in the VSE machine
- it is difficult at best to attach your printer to a specific port as the
- printer is an output only device. A possible solution to your problem is
- to write two VM service machine programs. The first, when autologed on
- attaches to specific ports on the VSE guest. He will intercept all output
- bound for the bit bucket and either buffer or save to disk the output.
- The second service machine is loged on to by a terminal which has a printer
- attached to it. The second vertiual machine will talk to the first
- virtual machine using IUCV to receive the output destined for the printer.
- Then in the DOS session of the PC, which is running DFT software, you
- write a program to accept data from the second VM service machine using
- the CMSSERV interface. The DOS session takes the data and drive the
- printer. This can be done and does work.
