Re: Ovrsplf in rpgle program help

While playing around with Alan's system command. Compiling it for testing I get
the following:

Definition not found for symbol '_EXCP_MSGID'.
Definition not found for symbol 'system'.

Any idea?

Thnx
Bill

I tend to use the system() api. No calculation of length, and easy to code
for any errors
here's what you need

// Execute Command (system) Subprocedure Variables
D As400cmd PR 10I 0 ExtProc('system')
D CmdText * Value Options(*String)
D
D ErrorCPF S 7A Import('_EXCP_MSGID')
D ErrorFlag S 10I 0 Inz(0)

C eval Errorflag = As400cmd('CHKOBJ -
C QTEMP/RECONWRKF *FILE')
C if ErrorFlag <> 0
C eval Errorflag = As400cmd('CRTPF -
C FILE(QTEMP/RECONWRKF) -
C SRCFILE(HBMOPA/QDDSSRC) -
C SRCMBR(RECONWRKF) -
C OPTION(*NOLIST *NOSOURCE) -
C LVLCHK(*NO)')
C else
C exsr Clrtemp
C endif

obviously you would change the code to suit you own purpose.
If there is an error (and you are so inclined) you could look at the field
ErrorCPF to see what the particular message id was.

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,
Willie..

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
