Re: Executing Commands within an RPG program

Brian,

For such things, I rely on the System() API in QC2LE.  This is what you 
need:

     h bnddir('QC2LE')

     fbclbl132  o    e             printer UsrOpn

     d System          PR            10i 0 ExtProc('system')      System 
Command
     d                                 *   value options(*string)    

      /free 
 
         If %open(bclbl132);
            Close bclbl132;
         Endif;

         System('OVRPRTF FILE(BCLBL132) CPI(10) OUTQ(PQ2BC) 
FORMTYPE(*STD)');
 
         Open bclbl132;

         // Do your thing here...

      /end-free

Hi All,

 

I need to run a printer override statement within my RPG program.  Can
someone remind me how I execute from within RPG?

 

I need to run this command from within my program:

 

OVRPRTF FILE(BCLBL132) CPI(10) OUTQ(PQ2BC) FORMTYPE(*STD)

 

Thank you!

 

Brian.
