RE: Multiple Programs to One Spool File

 Hi Scott,  Since each program has its own printer file and assuming that they 
are external printer files with different formats/fields, the print can not be 
combined using a simple override. You can achieve the same results by copying 
the spool files to a database file and printing from the database file. For 
example (and this is by memory without a manual for command syntax): PgmA - 
crtpf qtemp/splf rcdlen(199)- ovrprtf *prtf hold(*yes) save(*yes) . . .- call 
PgmB- cpysplf PrtfB qtemp/splf job(*) splnbr(*last) prtctl(*FCFC)- dltsplf PrtB 
job(*) splnbr(*last)- call Pgm C
- cpysplf PrtfC qtemp/splf job(*) splnbr(*last) prtctl(*FCFC)- dltsplf PrtC 
job(*) splnbr(*last)- dltovr *prtf - ovrprtf qprint prtctl(*fcfc)- cpyf 
qtemp/splf qprint I hope this helps Joe Kempenich --- On Mon 02/27, Scott

18:22:16 -0600Subject: Multiple Programs to One Spool FileNot sure if this is 
possible or not. I want to have multiple programs in one job stream print to 
the same spool file. Each program has its own prtf. Each prtf has different 
records/layouts. More or less, I have a report program that calls separate 
programs for the first page(s) and last page(s) of the needed report. The 
report program itself provides the detail for the middle pages. I am pretty 
sure I have to use ovrprtf, but I am unsure of where to place them and with 
what parms.PgmA calls PgmB.PgmB uses PrtfB and prints to spool file.Control 
returns 
to PgmA.PgmA uses PrtfA and prints to spool file.PgmA calls PgmC.PgmC uses 
PrtfC and prints to spool file.Control returns to PgmA.PgmA ends.--
