RE: Problems with spool files

And what about creating my own private *OUTQ, and my own private copy
of
QPRINT (maybe called "NOPRINT," to indicate its purpose) pointing to it,
and then change the RPG program so it prints to NOPRINT instead of
QPRINT.

That would avoid the need for overrides, and any possibility of my
interfering with something that IS supposed to be printed, but does
anything else have to be done to guarantee that nothing sent to NOPRINT
ever reaches a printer without being explicitly sent to one?

I'm curious how you're going to do the "pointing to it" part without
overrides. (?)

This does not avoid the possibility of you interfering with something that
is supposed to be printing, if that "something" is named QPRINT.

And since I'm replying again, I'll add that depending upon your activation
group setup, you may (probably will) need to add OVRSCOPE(*JOB) to the OVR*
if it's used.
