what are you running on the pc side, that is what is the rmtcmd calling?
Typically, I call a "bat" that has the exe in it. I use aaron bartell's mowyourlawn.com rpg2dt stuff that uses a job queue (and I do all sorts of things). So you can call that from within rpg. If at the cl/ocl level you can do it with of course strpccmd. As I recall, I had a few issues when the strpccmd called the program directly but no problem when I call a bat. I have maybe a dozen different dot net's that I call hundreds of times every day.

Not sure if this is an option for you, but if you put instead store the JPEG in a PDF on the IFS, then you could just open( ) the PDF with RPG, read( ) it, and WRITE to most printers (DEVD) as straight ASCII. Most printers now can sniff the byte stream as PDF and print it correctly.

Actually I've been going back and forth with IBM on this for weeks now. All I am trying to do is to print a style report with the image of the style. I moved all the picture into an IFS folder and created an rpg that reads the style file and creates an external printer file that I am listing bellow. When the spool file is created the image is there, but when I print it nothing comes out.

Check your PC printer configuration. Is it ASCII? Do you have HOST Transform set on? Is the printer an AFP or IPDS printer device? etc.
