Re: Change printer

   Hello Don...

   We use a process of controlling the print open and close and overriding
   the printer file prior to opening with QCMDEXC and OVRPRTF.

   Start the RPG program - your printer file must be set with USROPN.

   Use the QCMDEXC with OVRPRTF to set where you want the print to output to.

   Output your file.

   Close the printer file.

   Reset using QCMDEXC to the second printer.

   Open the printer file

   etc.

   Have a good day.

   Does anyone know how to change the actual printer during program
   execution? I want to print a file to PRT1 and then print the same file
   to PRT2 then change back to PRT1. I tried using QCMDEXC with CHGPRTF but
   I'm either using the wrong command or the wrong option ( I am changing
   DEV() ). The program compiles and executes alright but all copies are
   sent to the same printer. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can
   provide.
