RE: Ovrsplf in rpgle program help

You missed my post... . It should be %Len(%Trim(cmd)) Because cmd
isn't varying, you are getting a length of the whole variable which isn't
necessarily the length of your command. Doing what I suggested will fix
that issue.

This should not be that hard. But I am still learning the RPGLE.
Using Debug, here is what is in these fields.

C*
C move *blanks @cmd 25
@cmd has 25

blanks

C eval len = %len(@cmd)
Len = 25.
00000
C EVAL @CMD = 'DLTOVR FILE(ADITALABRP)'
@cmd =
dltovr file(aditalabrp) '
C CALL 'QCMDEXC'
C PARM @CMD
C PARM LEN 15 5
C*

Then get same error at call to QCMDEXC.

Thanks,
Willie...

Betcha LEN =0. Try
Eval Len = %Len(@cmd)

before the qcmdexc

With the help of all of you I am now getting closer.
I am now getting the following error: 'The call to *LIBL/QCMDEXC

ended in error'

When I look at the JOBLOG the following MSG is: 'Command length not

valid'.

When I look at the dump, the @CMD has the correct data. How do I

find the correct length and will I have to change it for the next

'QCMDEXC'?

Here is the code I am using.

C move *blanks @cmd 23
C if %Open(ADITALABRP)
C Close ADITALABRP
C ENDIF
C*
C EVAL @CMD = 'DLTOVR FILE(ADITALABRP)'
C CALL 'QCMDEXC'
C PARM @CMD
C PARM LEN 15 5

Thanks,

You will need to assign a value to LEN also. Either hard code it or

use

the CHECKR op code to dynamically determine the length of the command
string.

I want to use the ovrsplf option in an rpgle program. I need to

override the number of 'copies'. The number of 'copies' (labno)
will be from a field entered on a display.

Here is what I have come up with so far:

F ADITALABRPO E PRINTER OFLIND(*IN91)

EVAL @CMD = 'OVRSPLF FILE(ABCFILE) COPIES(LABNO)'
CALL 'QCMDEXC'
PARM @CMD
PARM LEN

15 5

C WRITE DTEORDNO
C WRITE DTEORDN1

I can do this in a CL program. Have the number of labels in the

display program pass to the print program. But would like to do it
all in one program.

Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
William Moore
