Problem:
After configuring the RM/COBOL Runtime to use the RM/InfoExpress Client for remote file access, the printing mechanism for your COBOL application no longer functions.
Resolution:
When the RM/COBOL Runtime is configured to use the RM/InfoExpress client, all UNC paths(\\\\servername\\resource) are handled by the InfoExpress client. This includes any shared printer that is referenced by a UNC name. However, you can instruct the RM/InfoExpress client to ignore certain UNC paths using the "PathPrefixExcluded" configuration keyword in your RM/InfoExpress client configuration file(rmixclnt.ini).
The RM/InfoExpress client configuration file, rmixclnt.ini, is a text file that contains configuration keywords for the client. This file should be placed in the Windows directory(C:\\Windows) on an affected client machine.
For more information on the RM/InfoExpress client configuration file and the "PathPrefixExcluded" configuration keyword, please see Appendix D: Configuring RM/InfoExpress, in the RM/InfoExpress User's Guide.
