Adam,
Do you mean within a single program (say, PGMA) retaining the program-described printer file and adding am externally-described printer file and getting both to print on the same report/document (piece of paper)?
If so, I don't think you can do that. Each printer file (program- and externally-described), I think, would have to be a separate F-spec. At least, I have never seen or heard of part of a printer file being internal and another part being external. When one defines the file in the F-spec, one has to indicate whether the file (printer, disk, or whatever) is externally-described or not. But there are people on the list that do magical things (Paul?) with RPG IV.

Subject: A Printer File (PRTF) and the O-Specs in the same program?
I was thinking on my flight, that is it possible to combine the Prtf which I
really only need one field to be Barcode, instead of re-writing the legacy to a
PRTF, which is very cumbersome for the following reasons:
there is alot of formats conditioned by various indicators, using the same field
name but it won't compile as a PRTF unless you make new format names for each
case. \
2. I am still not happy replacing the Overflow logic controlled by the cycle
with some kind of line counting.
So can I have the PRTF by itself, just the one field and I think I can get it to
print on first line, it really just has to be on the printout for use for UPS
Worldship?
Will this work coexisting ?
Tot Ziens,
Adam

I am not getting off the ground. Perhaps there is some code to look
at?
Can't find the IBM manual either.
