Re: OVRDBF FILE(QSYSPRT) Returning Error

[Jason Abreu <jason.abreu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I apologize as well.  After a second read I realize my response was also 
a bit terse and was not my intention to come across as rude.

I was not aware the externally described print files were handled 
differently.  You learn something new every day.  I believe when I have 
done this in the past it was with a custom generated print file and not 
a system generated one and the definitions were, more than likely, 
different.

I look forward to learning much more from the midrange list!
