If you are printing from the iSeries, then you are using an outq. Part of the definition of the outq says whether or not to print a separator page when the report starts.

If you are pulling the information down to an excel sheet, then the problem is somewhere else.

That’s okay; I wanted it mentioned in case it was inadvertent. I see you opened a new question, so I’ll just say a couple things.

In the other question, be sure to mention E-PRINT. Also, “SQL scripts” may be supplied in a whole bunch of ways. Be sure to describe how the scripts are submitted for execution.

Also, if you can determine this, say whether or not each script actually results in an individual spooled file and they all simply print one after the other, or if all scripts are spooled to a single report that you have to separate manually. This could be determined by watching the spooler in Windows. (I can’t say much about Linux unless you happen to be running one of the couple that I happen to have access to.)

I’m new to the ‘world’ so I’m not sure how I managed to get my question posted to AS400 because it’s not. We’re Windows & Linx ..

i wasn’t able to get back here until today. I don’t understand what it is I’m to check.. sorry. What is the ‘OUTQ’ and where would I see ‘Print Separator page’? Is this part of E-Print or is it something I should have in my script?

What is E-PRINT? Google didn’t list anything useful for AS/400s in the first couple dozen hits. And how are your SQL “scripts” being executed?
