Subject: 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
