RE: CRTDUPOBJ and OVRPRTF command.

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One suggestion that strikes me is that you could create a set of duplicate 
outqueues in a testing library and place that library higher in the library 
list than where the outqueues normally reside.

This presumes your overrides specify the outq with *LIBL instead of a harcoded 
library name.

Thwt owuld probably be my apporach anyway, I have trouble with too many levels 
of overrides... and I gues you would want to know thr prints are going to go to 
the right place

Hope this helps

Hey all,

We are about to go thru a huge battery of tests on a huge number of
program changes at one of our clients.  Our problem is that during
these tests, a huge number of reports will be printed, all on
production printers (because of ovrprtf commands throughout each job).

Since our testing will be done during regular business hours, so all
these extra reports may confuse the rank and file.  

What I thought I could do was to create my own version of OVRPRTF that
would ignore the "DEV" and "OUTQ" parameters, but process the others,
and put it above QSYS during testing.

I'm having trouble creating the CPP for the command though.

Is there some way of knowing how and what parameters are passed to the
regular CPP and in what order?  It doesn't seem to be working the way
I thought.

Does anyone have another suggestion on how to stop the overrides from
printing?

(using a different developement box for testing is an option, but a
last resort)

Thanks,

Rick
