FEEDIGNOREFINAL is Not a Valid Option (186710)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP2
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP3
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q186710 SYMPTOMS
When you are configuring an SNA Server 3270 print session with the command
line utility Snacfg.exe, FEEDIGNOREFINAL is presented as a valid print
session option. The option may be turned off and on without effecting print
output.
CAUSE
This option was included in Snacfg.exe but never implemented in the SNA
Print server.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0,
3.0 SP 2, 3.0 SP 3, 4.0, and 4.0 SP 1. We are researching this
problem in the SNA Server version 3.0, and will post more information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack,
query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the
spaces):
MORE INFORMATION
This option is not needed. SNA Print Server ignores the last Form Feed in
the print data stream. When printing with GDI, SNA Print calls EndDoc() to
end a print job. This function adds a Form Feed therefore, an extra page
may result if not ignored. When printing with a printer definition file
(PDF) this is not the case, SNA Print calls EndDocPrinter(), which does not
issue a Form Feed, however, the END_JOB macro usually contains a Form Feed
and can be removed if two Form Feeds are in the data stream to avoid an
extra page from being printed.
