RE: PRTF QUERY? -- MIDRANGE-L



          I had to do something similar once to keep backup copies of spool
          files in a second outq.   I created the output on hold, once the
report
          was finished I called a CL program that did a SNDNETSPLF to a
          fictitious user that had the second outq as the default.  Once the
          spool file was sent I released the original.
           It only took a couple of lines of code for the CL,  and I only
had to
          add a call to my cl in the original program.

          Off the top of my head, I think you'd have to
          -create a duplicate object of the print file.  (You could call it
"FAXPRTF"
          or something.)
             OR
          -do an OVRPRTF from your original print file to FAXPRTF.

          In your RPG program, you'd
          -code a seperate F-spec for the fax print file
          -rename all the record formats in the fax print file
          -for each EXCPT,  you duplicate the EXCPT, and use the name of
the renamed
          fax record format in the EXCPT
          -in the O-specs, create duplicate printer output specs for all
the EXCPT-s
          you've duplicated in your code

          I know it seems a long way around, and I'm sure there's a better
way to do
          it, but I dunno what it is off the top of my head programatically.

          Alternately, there may be a way of duplicating the completed
spool file
          INTO the fax output queue.  It'd be so tasty if OS/400 had a
CRTDUPSPLF
          command.  I seem to recall a similar program being written years
ago, and
          it being published in News 3X/400.
