Problem:
Visual COBOL 2.0 introduced a new run-time tunable called printer_raw_redirection which causes output sent to a file defined as:
select file-name assign to PRINTER
to be redirected to the Windows print spooler as raw data when running in a managed code .NET application.
This enables you to send Printer Control Language (PCL) escape sequences directly with your print data. When setting this tunable in the .NET app.config file, however I get a file status of 9/004 returned when the file is opened for output. Why is this?

Resolution:
In order to use the printer_raw_redirection tunable you must also set the printer_redirection tunable on first in your app.config file.
You can set this up in your app.config file as follows:
