Please include the OVRPRTF command as well as the device description
that you are printing to, this will help in figuring this out.

Also include the "regular" atrributes of the printfile like the length &
width, CPI & LPI if they aren't specified in the OVRPRTF.

Thanks.

subject: Re: Lets Talk about Overlays

Hi James
thanks for your reply
It looks like I didn't explain my predicament clearly
My program produces a report in landscape format, which I can print.
I have created an overlay (via Microsoft Excel 2002), unfortunately in
portrait format.
This was uploaded to the AS/400 via a certain procedure.
The same program was run with the same data, this time applying my
overlay
in the OVRPRTF command
This report was then printed to the same printer.
This is where I realized the mistake I made where the overlay was in the
wrong format.
I recreated the overlay (again using Microsoft 2002) this time in
landscape
format.
I uploaded the new version (as a different name) to the AS/400, re-ran
the
same program with the same data applying the new overlay in the OVRPRTF.
I cannot get the new spool file to print to the same printer, no matter
what I try. The status goes to PND.
If anyone can point out what I am doing wrong, it would be much
appreciated

Thanks in advance
