Re: Override printer file in RPG IV?

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Jim,
     
     You'll need to make the printer file USROPN, code some variation of 
     command line support (QCAEXEC, QCMDEXC, C 'System' function, etc) 
     to issue your override, then OPEN. I prefer the C runtime 'System' 
     function, as it appears to issue the override at the same call 
     level as the RPGIV program that is issuing the override. This 
     negates having to specify the override scope parm.
     
     If you'd like a sample, contact me directly.

I have an aging report I am rewriting from RPG III to RPG IV.  One of the
files I am opening is a program described printer file.  I call this file 
AGINGRPT so the file name makes sense when the users look in their spool files. 
But, we n't
have an actual printer file called that, I am over riding to a printer file 
calledTY2K/PRINTER.
     
Is there a way I can do this in RPG IV so I don't have to wrap this in a CL?
     
Regards,
     
Jim Langston
