Michael,
All you need to do is define the additional files like you showed in your
email.
Each printer file that you open will create a unique spooled file. In your
example you are referring to the same printer file (QPRINT), so your reports
will have different file numbers.
Have fun!

Subject: [COBOL400-L] defining multiple printer files in ILE COBOL...
List,
It is my understanding that a typical printer file definition is something
like:
SELECT PRINT-FILE1 ASSIGN TO PRINTER-QPRINT.
If the program in question produces multiple reports, is it as simple as
defining additional files like this?
SELECT PRINT-FILE2 ASSIGN TO PRINTER-QPRINT.
SELECT PRINT-FILE3 ASSIGN TO PRINTER-QPRINT.
If so, how does the O/S know to separate the reports as individual files? Or
am I missing a qualification somewhere? Something special in the CL? The
above compiles fine but I'm not yet able to test the program.
A CL example calling a program that produces multiple report files would be
very helpful. TIA
