RE: RPG how to use the same printer file twice?

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what I ended up doing - overriding the printer file at runtime and
compile time, and renaming the record formats. With a little logic to
determine which file to use, works great!

Thanks!
