It certainly does, and you are certainly correct that the INFDS does not
help you when the SPLFNAME is specified on an OVRPRTF.  I thought you were
talking about the TOFILE parameter on the OVRPRTF command.  The INFDS does
show that properly.  You've already come up with the QUSLSPL API
work-around... This is a great puzzle - I'll poke through the API manuals
tonight and see if any other ideas spring to mind.
