Hello,

I have a character variable with numeric data.
This holds number of copies that will be used on the OVRPRTF command.

DCL VAR(&COPYCHR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('3')
DCL VAR(&COPIES) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(1 0) VALUE(1)

CHGVAR VAR(&COPIES) VALUE(&COPYCHR)
OVRPRTF FILE(WGTMNFP) MAXRCDS(*NOMAX) HOLD(*YES) COPIES(&COPIES)


Let us say the value of &COPYCHR is a '3' before the CHGVAR command.
After the CHGVAR executes, the value of &COPIES remains a 1.

Please help.

Thanks
Mohan E
