RE: OVRPRTF question

I ended up changing the original PAGESIZE(066) to PAGESIZE(066 132). And, then changing 132 to 080 as needed before the override. It works. I do not understand why a second override that specified the PAGESIZE values didn't work, since SECURE() was on neither OVRPRTF.

Anyway, sorry for the distraction.

We now return you to technical discussions, already in progress.....

If the original program was compiled with "QPRINT" (or other
'default-type' printer) as the print file you may not want to change
the print file-- who knows what other programs might be affected!

You'd be better off using OVRPRTF and specifying "page rotate" = 0 (zero).

Check the attributes of the 2 spool files as one may be 132 and one 80.
The 132 column will auto rotate. Most likely the RPG program print file
was compiled with a column width of 132 even though you only output 80
characters. If that is the case, CHGPRTF can fix that. RPGIII will run
in the *DFTACTGRP activation group while the CL if a CLLE will run in
QILE activation group. Make sure you get the override level correct in
the CL. DSPPGMREF on the RPGIII to see what printer file is used or
look at the attributes of the spool file to see what print file was
used.
