Can you presort your data into what will go onto what spool file?  If so,
use only one spool file and user control (open) it.  You then close / open
the file every time the key changes.   You cannot have more than 8 spool
files defined in RPG. Period!

Subject: Max 8 prtf's in a RPG pgm ?


Hi there,

Apparently there is a limit of 8 printer files allowed in a RPG program. I 
have a program that needs to use 9 (possibly more). Any ideas on how to 
achieve this (other than duplicating and splitting the process into 2 
programs).

TIA.
