Re: Printing to a disk file?

You could simply use OVRPRTF to redirect the disk file to a printer file... the disadvantage being that your program can't control stuff like overflow, jumping to a particular line in the document, etc.

Hello all, Has anyone ever seen a printer file designated as a disk file in a RPGLE program?
The F spec looks like this:
ferrctrec o e disk

I spent some time searching for the file be fore I discoverred that it was a printer file.
And it still amazes me that it is used as a print file and labelled disk in the f spec.
Anyone else seen this?
Just curiosity at this point.
Thanks, Dave B
