All 5 programs are RPG38. The 4 that work and the one that doesn't.

Mark,

Are all 4 programs RPG38?

For some reason, I'm thinking the USRDTA(*SOURCE) doesn't work for
ILE. But a quick search didn't turn up any confirmation or that
thought.

Sorry,

The spooled file is created by an application program. I'll check the printer file definition, but the previous 4 programs that use that printer file have the application program as the usrdta. On the fifth, it's blank.

So was the sample I sent you. QSYSPRT is an existing printer file on your
system, and is the exact one I used in my sample. Take another look.

Sorry, I should have specified. It's internally described. QSYSPRT.

What about the printer file itself?

*SOURCE
If the spooled file was created by an application program, the
name of that program is used. Otherwise, blanks are used.

CHGPRTF FILE(...) USRDTA(*SOURCE)

CPYF FROMFILE(ROB/ANN) TOFILE(*PRINT)
WRKSPLFA FILE(QSYSPRT) SPLNBR(*LAST)
User-specified data . . . . . . . . . :
User defined data . . . . . . . . . . : *NONE

I have a client running RPG38/CLP38 code on V5R4 and she has a weird
occurrence happening.

Basically she has a CL that does a FMTDTA, then calls a program to print a
report, then does a FMTDTA then calls a program to print a report, and
this goes on for about 5 reporting program. The first 4 programs' output
has a user data on the spooled file of the program name. The fifth one is
blank. There is nothing in the OVRPRTF command that I would see that
causes this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark
