This topic contains solutions to common problems that you might experience when upgrading RJE.
Cause: The FATs have not been converted to override tables, or they have not been imported into BARR/SPOOL.
Solution: Follow one of these methods to import and convert FATs.
The Configuring BARR/RJE for upgrades topic teaches you how to import BARR/RJE (DOS) configuration files and internal and external FATs. This method converts and imports the FATs.
The DOS FAT Conversion Utility topic helps you convert your DOS FATs to BARR/SPOOL override tables. After you convert the FATs, you must import them into Barr Enterprise Print Server.

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.
