RE: Ovrsplf in rpgle program help

With everones help I am getting a little closer to getting this done.
Now I am getting this message: 'LABNO ' for parameter COPIES must be
numeric.
Error found on OVRPRTF command.

LABNO is defined in the display as 3s 0.

I tried the following 'eval' statement but got the same error.
nolbs 1 3s 0
eval nolbs = labno

I know and have used the 'Declare CL Variable (DCL)' in CL to pass numeric
values to OVRPRTF.

How is this done inside an RPG program?

Thanks,
Willie

You are probably getting a CPF9841 error: Override not found at
specified level.

Why are you trying to delete an override that you haven't issued yet?
Just apply the OVRPRTF; if one already exists, yours will replace it.
I.e., you cannot override a file (disk, printer, etc.) to more than one
object at a time.

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,

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,
