RE: REQUESTROL print-out from PTF's

This has been a persistent annoyance since we went to 7.1. I figured someone else must have seen it and maybe knew the fix.

I'll try the OVRPRTF next month.

Every time I put on PTFs, the system printer prints a "Run SQL

No mention of which job actually produced the /document/, but if that printed data was produced within the job performing the PTF activity, then precede that PTF activity with the following request to force the spooling of the data into a Spool File (SPLF) with the HELD status:
OVRPRTF *PRTF HOLD(*YES) OUTQ(QPRINTS) SAVE(*YES) OVRSCOPE(*JOB)
SPOOL(*YES)

Then after that PTF activity completes, look for the spooled file, and gather the Work With Spooled File Attributes (WRKSPLFA) details.
Those details can be used to determine how to effect the necessary
change(s) either with a Change Printer File (CHGPRTF) request or a more specific\directed Override to Printer File (OVRPRTF) request [than to every printer file per the *PRTF specification used originally], to affect just that one printer file.
