Re: Keeping QPRINT open

--> Moved to RPG400-L at the request of the moderator <--

What language are the programs in? If RPG, I think it's as simple as
leaving LR off until the last program. You might also have to override
QPRINT to share(*yes) before you start(?).

It may not even be necessary to leave *INLR off.  I had a similar problem 
recently:  I wanted to have PGMA read through an IFS directory, passing 
each file (exluding . and ..) to PGMB for processing.  PGMB produces an 
error report of records that need user attention, and I wanted all of the 
records from all calls to PGMB to show up on the same report.  The trick 
was to override the print file to have SHARE(*YES), then open the file in 
PGMA (even though it was not used).  This way, PGMB can open and close the 
print file at will, but the print file will not be handed over to the 
spooler because it is still in use by PGMA.

If you have (or can add) a 'controller' program to the jobstream, you 
should be able to use a similar method.

Hope this helps,
Adam

   I tried using an indicatior on the line of code that sets on LR and 

ran it

   through the interactive source debugger.  The program never exited. 

It

   just kept running and printing multiple copies of the report for that
   program.  I cannot take out the  "MOVE  *ON  *INLR" line because the
   program won't compile (of course).  So, how do I exit the program 

forcing

   it to run only one time?

   Here's what I did...
