RE: Changing a PRTF's USRDTA while running the print pgm?

["A. Sivasubrahmanian" <sivasubrahmanian.ananthakrishnan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mvh

At program entry, before opening the printer file change the USRDTA
using OVRPRTF command by calling QCMDEXC from COBOL program.

And after every close to printer file (break), Delete the over ride on
the printer file and issue a new override PRTF with the new user data
value and open the file.

Logic is like this:-
OVRPRTF USRDTA(??????)
Open printer file
Process
Close PRTF
Delete Over ride
Over ride PRTF USRDTA(XXXXX)
Open prtf
Process
CLOSE PRTF
Delete over ride.

Subject: Changing a PRTF's USRDTA while running the print pgm?

Hello all.

I have a printpgm that prints to a PRTF.  At some breaks, I close the 
printfile and open it again to achive a split into several spoolfiles. 
This works OK, but I'd like to put a spesific label/name on each 
spoolfile( it will then be easier to recognize for the packing staff),
and 
I wonder, is there a way to change the USRDTA on the printfile each time
I 
open it in my pgm? 

Or do you have better ideas? 

Mvh.

Geir
