Re: Ovrsplf in rpgle program help

See my earlier post about setting the value of LEN. If you are just calling this one command, the easiest thing to do is to count the characters in the command In your example,add EVAL LEN=23 prior to calling QCMDEXC. If you are using other commands, set LEN dynamically with ' ' CHECKR @CMD LEN

With the help of all of you I am now getting closer. I am now getting the following error: 'The call to *LIBL/QCMDEXC ended in error'
When I look at the JOBLOG the following MSG is: 'Command length not valid'.
When I look at the dump, the @CMD has the correct data. How do I find the
correct length and will I have to change it for the next 'QCMDEXC'?
Here is the code I am using.

C move *blanks @cmd 23 C if %Open(ADITALABRP) C Close ADITALABRP C ENDIF C* C EVAL @CMD = 'DLTOVR FILE(ADITALABRP)' C CALL 'QCMDEXC' C PARM @CMD C PARM LEN 15 5

Thanks,

You will need to assign a value to LEN also. Either hard code it or use the CHECKR op code to dynamically determine the length of the command string.

I want to use the ovrsplf option in an rpgle program. I need to override the
number of 'copies'. The number of 'copies' (labno) will be from a field
entered on a display.
Here is what I have come up with so far:

F ADITALABRPO E PRINTER OFLIND(*IN91)

EVAL @CMD = 'OVRSPLF FILE(ABCFILE) COPIES(LABNO)'
CALL 'QCMDEXC'
PARM @CMD
PARM LEN 15 5

C WRITE DTEORDNO
C WRITE DTEORDN1

I can do this in a CL program. Have the number of labels in the display program
pass to the print program. But would like to do it all in one program.
Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.
