Title: RE: Printer Overflow and BIF's

Peter,

I'm sorry - I forgot that little detail.

It is an externally described printer file.
 
It works (of course) by using an OFLIND(*IN55) and then watching for *in55.  I was not able to get it to work by using the %error method and it won't let you specify something like OFIND(%ERROR)...  I did not think of setting an OFLIND and then watching for %error but I doubt it will work - I'll give it a try just for grins.

So it works with the old method and everyone is happy (as happy as end-users will ever be)  but I was just curious if I could take advantage of some new method using the BIF's instead. 

Thanks
