Silly question, but you're not doing the following are you?
1. Override
2. Open
3. Delete override.
4. Close
5. Open
6. Write to the file

In my day I've seen print files closed in order to create multiple spool
files - if that's what you're doing make sure the override isn't deleted
so future opens still use it.

Grabbing at straws here. From all the information you've given us, it
sounds to me that the ovrprtf should work.

Subject: ovrprtf inside a RPG service program

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
