The API manual (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AMZ03/CCONTENTS) states the following regarding the QSPCRTSP API: | Print text | Y | N | The text that is printed on | | | | | separator pages. Print text in the | | | | | print data stream is not changed. Seems to indicate that the the print text will not be changed. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Brad Stone [mailto:brad@bvstools.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 11:09 AM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Print Text and Spooled Files I have a weird one here. One of my tools, SPL2SPL, allows a user to copy a spooled file. It also allows them to change certain spooled file attributes for the new spooled file. Now, I have a couple users who use the Print Text paramter, and it does not seem to change the print text on the duplicated spooled file. I have run this in debug 100 times, and I can see that the print text parameter of the new spooled file HAS changed. But when the spooled file is printed, the print text from the original spooled file appears on the output instead of the new Print Text. The documentation on this field is sparse, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working. Example.. SF1 - print text = "Hi!" Use SPL2SPL and change print text to "Bye!", creates new spooled file SF2. Print SF2, and "Hi!" prints as the print text. Use SPL2SPL to copy SF2. I run it in debug and retrieve the spooled file attributes and the print text IS "Bye!". Change it again to "Grape!" which makes SF3. Print SF3, print text still is "Hi!" Hope this makes sense. If anyone wants to give it a whirl to see what I mean, you're more than welcome. I'd appreciate any clues or help. Thanks! I'm pulling my hair out on this one.
