Skip To Channel 1 is not printing the same as it did with RJE

Cause: FCBLOAD is not recommended with BARR/RJE. In BARR/SPOOL, FCBs are either downloaded from the host or manually entered using the FCB utility. This can cause printing problems when migrating from RJE where FCBLOAD was used because the FCB sent to the printer using FCBLOAD is different from the FCB defined on the host.

Solution: To duplicate what was happening in the BARR/RJE DOS product using FCBLOAD, manually change all Barr Enterprise Print Server FCB definitions so Skip To Channel 1 is on line 1, and remove multiple Skip To Channel Xs.
