Re: Problems with spool files

I disagree...

IMHO, using QPRINT is just lazy...and unacceptable in a production application.

Is it really that hard to do CRTPRTF (MYLIB/MYPRTF) so that you don't
have to worry about what might have been done to QPRINT?

If your process is mixed in with other things (called from somewhere, calling something else or maybe using the attention key) then a different print file with a hold override on that print file might be appropriate.  There is no reason for an output queue.
