Re: Override printer file in RPG IV?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That actually was my first though.  Just copy the file.  But then I thought
why would I want a copy of an object I'm not changing in one iota?  Then
if my printer file had to change for whatever reason, I don't know, font,
form length, whatever, I would have 2 files to maintain.

Regards,

Jim Langston
