Re: ovrprtf inside a RPG service program

Hi Nick
Then that's the problem. You need to OVRPRTF before opening the print file

Hi Nick
Not knowing how these programs are written, here is my guess.
The OVRPRTF needs to be called BEFORE the print file is opened.
You may need to define the print file with usropn, and change the

program

accordingly to open and close the print file

Hi all,


I have a situation where I need to execute an ovrprtf from with in a

service

program running in batch. The following OVRPRTF command doesent seem

to

take effect at all:

OVRPRTF FILE(FILLRECDOC) OUTQ(I9FORM) SAVE(*YES)

I thought that was because I am running this in a service program so

I

added

the keywords OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) OPNSCOPE(*ACTGRPDFN)

and I get the following messages

Keyword OPNSCOPE not valid for this command
Keyword OVRSCOPE not valid for this command

The activation group for the service program is *CALLER

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
