I stand corrected. I was using a wrapper to QCAPCMD
which returns the error message number.
Does one use the ErrorFlag usually, or do you use the
imported variable instead? (I almost asked how you
convert the ErrorFlag into the ErrorCPF until I remember
you can import variables along with subprocedures.)
I know that QCAPCMD can do a bazillion other functions,
but, for this part of it, is there any advantage to one
versus the other?
Uh, can you pass a link to this manual?
I haven't finished the whole RPG redbook yet. Is this covered?
I am just on my way to the 'library' after I finish this
memo.

system must be a wrapper someone at your company wrote. I do a
WRKOBJ SYSTEM and do not find it.

Subject: Re: Retrieving Spool File Name in RPG
[While tossing about possible methods to set the USRDTA value of the spool
files, the programmers responsible for the application programming stated
that they did not feel it was productive to create a CL for every RPG that
would need to set the USRDTA value and wanted to accomplish this from
within the RPG program. This would avoid coding lots of CL's that merely
passed parameter strings after doing an OVRPRTF. Perhaps this is a valid
objection, perhaps it isn't. I'm not really able to influence their
preference, in any event I figured that what they wanted to do ought to be
easily accomplished from within the RPG with a bit of thought.]
Maybe I'm missing something here, but couldn't you do the override
within the RPG program? Set the printer file to USROPN, use the
system() API (or QCMDEXC) to override the printer file, and then OPEN
the file?

Maybe I've misinterpreted your requirement.
