Let’s get right into it. There are PDF transform issues with IBM i 7.5. This issue was encountered by our friends in San Diego: Thank you, Nancy, for sharing! They were receiving “Transformation task cancelled due to a print fidelity error” when converting from SCS to PDF. IBM issued the following PTFs to fix the issue:

PTF ID

In this session we look at how to change the value used for Workstation ID, IBM i 5250 Device Description & IBM i Interactive Job Name (they are the same thing).

We show how to avoid having to create individual HOD files for each new name, we look at basing names on a specific character string and also basing in on the User Name you logged into you workstation with, or in deed the user you logged into you workstation with (Windows, Linux, MacOS user)

Finally, we look at getting the label name on the session to match this Workstation ID.
