Re: defining multiple printer files in ILE COBOL...

Michael,

An OVRPRTF to QPRINT in the CL will affect ALL instances of use of QPRINT in
your
program. Should you wish to have different Override Values applied to the
various
reports you would want to have/use multiple print files.

You can use QPRINT, QPRINT2, QPRINTS provided by IBM. You can also create your
own
by making duplicates of QPRINT (as mentioned earlier). I have found it useful
to
create a QPRINT variations and use CHGPRTF to set values so that a CL is not
required.

For Example
Dup QPRINT to QPRT198 and CHGPRTF to 198 width @ 15 cpi
Dup QPRINT to QPRT300 and CHGPRTF to 300 width @ 20 cpi

Regards,
Jack
