RE: Ovrsplf in rpgle program help

Willie,

It looks like your EVAL stmt for your CMD is just putting a constant
character string into it. You might have to use Concatination to put
together a string with variables in it.

Because COPIES(NOLBLS) is just a "constant". The machine is not
sustituting the value you want for NOLBLS, just putting the value NOLBLS
into your parm for COPIES.



Thanx,

Nick

RE: Ovrsplf in rpgle program help






Here is the @cmd statement.
C move *blanks cmd 38
C eval nolbs = labno
C EVAL CMD = 'OVRPRTF FILE(ADITALABRP)
COPIES(NOLBS)'
C eval len = %len(%TrimR(cmd))

May we see the @CMD eval? It is sounding like you want to use
something like:

c eval @Cmd = 'OVRPRTF copies(' + %char(LABNO) + ')'

Michael,
With your 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 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 LEN 15 5

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.

Willie J. Moore wrote:

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
