Finucci:

Thanks for your answer, but I do need more details.  The definition of the 
printfile in the cobol-pgm is:  SELECT PRTFA         ASSIGN TO 
FORMATFILE-PRTFA. 

The CL-commands that does not work are: OVRPRTF    FILE(PRTFA) 
USRDTA(&USRDTA) , OVRPRTF    FILE(*PRTF) USRDTA(&USRDTA) .  I have tried 
them both.

How do I use qcmdexc from an OPM-COBOL-pgm?  Do you have an example?


Thanks

Geir
