Hi Jason,

The output of WRKJOBSCDE is not meant to be put into a file or processed by a program. While you'll doubtless learn that you can workaround this with CL's CPYSPLF or QShell's catsplf, it's still not recommended, because IBM does not consider printouts to be programmatic interfaces.

IBM works hard to keep software compatible from each release to the next, but they don't put any efforts to keep printouts in the same format. If they change a printout, it'll break your software if you're processing the printout in a program.

The IBM-blessed way to read/process the job schedule entries in a program is the List Job Schedule Entries (QWCLSCDE) API.

My test code is as follows:
PGM
CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/TESTOVR) RCDLEN(132)
OVRDBF FILE(QSYSPRT) TOFILE(QTEMP/TESTOVR)
WRKJOBSCDE OUTPUT(*PRINT)
ENDPGM

However, the job fails with:
CPF9850 - Override of printer file QSYSPRT not allowed.

Any ideas why this simple override is not working?
