Re: (no subject) Actyaly, 4 page print out

Could you have 4 records in your PRTF (besides the headers and footers)?  
Say, PAGE1, PAGE2, PAGE3, and PAGE4? 

At print time you could then write each record, one after the other.

Hello,
 
I am currently writing a program in RPG 400 .. using Qsysprt and Overlays ..
 
Here is the problem ...
 
a file is read primary in the program ... for each record a purchase order
is printed ... each purchase order is 4 different pages ... initially I was
going to do 4 different out files (qsysprt1,qsysprt2,etc) and in the CL have
an ovrprtf to each one using the appropriate overlay created with Page Maker
... but this is not well liked by our purchasing department ... that would
mean the pages were printed separately and would have to be re-sorted so ...
they want all the pages for each purchase order to be printed one after
another ... I cannot figure out how to accomplish this ... using multiple
overlays ... I tried to open and close qsysprt and ovrprtf in the RPG ...
but unless I close it first .. the ovrprtf doesn't work ... so I am stuck ..
 any help would be appreciated ...
