Re: Sharing spoolfiles

[Bob Buchanan <bobbyb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, it is possible.  You have to share the open data path, the programs
have to be in the same job, and it works best if: 
1) A control program opens the spool file and calls each program in turn 
or
2) Program A calls program B
OVRPRTF SHARE(*YES)

Actually, you must use 1 or 2 (or some similar variant).  If Program A
ends and closes the file, it will close.
