Description: The operation attempted was not successful because the printer is unusable. This might occur because:

No operations should be issued to the device.

Action: Communications with the printer cannot be resumed until the device has been reset to a varied-on state. If the device has been held, use the Release Communications Device (RLSCMNDEV) command to reset the device. If the device is in an error state, vary the device off and then on again. Once the device is reset, normal operation can be started again by reopening the printer file.

Description: The open operation was not successful because the printer file or printer device is not available.

Action: The printer file cannot be opened again until the necessary resources are available. Your program can wait for the resources to become available, and then issue another open operation. Otherwise, you can continue other processing or end the program. The Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command might be used to determine whether the printer device is in use or not varied on. If the device is in use, the WRKCFGSTS command will also identify the job that is using it.

Consider increasing the WAITFILE parameter with the Change Printer File (CHGPRTF) or Override with Printer File (OVRPRTF) command to allow more time for the file resources to become available.

Description: An open operation was not successful because the record format descriptions in the printer file have changed since your program was compiled.

Action: Close the printer file and end the program. Determine whether the changes affect your application program. If they do, then recompile the program. If the changes do not affect your program, the file should be changed or overridden to LVLCHK(*NO). When LVLCHK(*NO) is specified, the system does not compare the record format descriptions.
