OVRPRTF Command in OCL for RPG II Report

I have a boatload of legacy RPG II programs that run via OCL in the 36 environment. I've used OVRPRTF commands in OCL before, but always for things like Query/400 reports.

I've written a generate command and processing program that build the appropriate OVRPRTF command. So far, though I've only used this in CL's. I would like to use it in OCL, too, because, among other things, it can automatically use a substitute printer, rather than the normal one, when the printer has, well, gone south temporarily.

Anyway, while my command and program build and execute the OVRPRTF command successfully, the OCL sends the report to printer defined in the QPRTDEV system value; i.e., it is ignoring the print device in the generated OVRPRTF command.

I am pretty sure that the reason for this problem is that I cannot get the TOFILE( ) parameter right. I tried QSYSPRT, but that did not help. The name of the program-described printer is REPORT, but I can't use that. Does anyone know (or even be willing to hazard am educated guess) what TOFILE( ) value would work for a program-described RPG II printer file?

Thanks.
