Why not use the OVERLAY DDS keyword instead of changing/overriding the
spool file?

Oh... one additional thing. I am doing this by calling a CL program with a
parm.

Hello all,

I am working with overlays and was requested to do something different
with
overlays. So far I have been unsuccessful in implementing it.

What we need to do is dynamically assign an overlay based upon criteria in
a
file I read in my RPG program. I create different spool file for every
header record read in and each spool file can have a different overlay. I
have tried to do a 'OVRPRTF *PRTF' before every time I open a new spool
file
and tried to do a CHGSPLF after every time I close the spoolfile (which
causes a MSGW), neither worked. What can I do to accomplish this?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Mike Wills
