Re: How to automatically save a spoolfile?

Using CHGSPLFA is a flawed technique because there's a chance (however slight!) that the spooled file will finish printing before you change it to SAVE(*YES)

A batter solution is to use OVRPRTF FILE(whatever) SAVE(*YES)

Or perhaps CHGPRTF FILE(whatever) SAVE(*YES) if you always want it to be done for every output from that particular print file.

This is stumping me.

I want a report to print when the program is run, but I want to automatically save the spoolfile, too?

CHGSPLFA FILE(Filename) SAVE(*YES) works, but only if there is only one file. In other words, it works once, the second time it falls over because there are two like-named spool files.
What am I not seeing?
