Forum Post: File open output and assign to printer works fine but need to add contents from a binary file running on Redhat

Here is my select statement for a file used as printer handling SELECT PRINT-FILE ASSIGN TO PRINTER "prt109" FILE STATUS IS ERR-STATUS. FD PRINT-FILE RECORD CONTAINS 132 CHARACTERS LABEL RECORDS ARE OMITTED. 01 PRT-BUFFER. 10 PL PIC X(132). I have an environment statement of dd_prt109=>lp -dprt109 -s -oraw Writing out records to this file and then doing a close works just perfectly, however I need to add in contents from an existing file which happens to contain some binary data and is much larger than my print file definition. As such I cannot just read one line at at time from the binary file and inset to the print file. Any suggestions?
