Re: OVRDBF FILE(QSYSPRT) Returning Error

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

On second thought...seeing as how you where using CRTPF...

Perhaps the second level help provides a reason...

Cause . . . . . :   One of the following occurred:
    -- The printer file was overridden to file &2.  Overrides to the name of
  the system printer file are not allowed.
    -- The file &2 is not a printer file.  File &2 has the same name as the
  system printer file and is in a library before QSYS in the library list.

Does QTEMP appear before QSYS by chance?
