not sure what you mean that overlays are allways full page. We don't do overlays with ovrprtf, we specify the overlay in the printer file and write it via the rpg program. we often have several overlays on 1 page - even in 1 record format.

sample printer file dds

A R OVL1ZZ
A
A* PRINT BODY LOGO
A OVERLAY(&OVNAME0 +
A &OVDOWN0 &OVACROSS0)
A* PRINT UPPER LEFT OVERLAY - COMPANY LOGO
A OVERLAY(&OVNAME1 +
A &OVDOWN1 &OVACROSS1)
A* PRINT UPPER RIGHTOVERLAY - 2ND LOGO
A OVERLAY(&OVNAME2 +
A &OVDOWN2 &OVACROSS2)
A OVNAME0 8A P
A OVDOWN0 5S 3P
A OVACROSS0 5S 3P
A OVNAME1 8A P
A OVDOWN1 5S 3P
A OVACROSS1 5S 3P
A OVNAME2 8A P
A OVDOWN2 5S 3P
A OVACROSS2 5S 3P

Overlays are _ALWAYS_ full page...

If you want just pieces of pages, you need to create page segments
instead of overlays.
