Re: ovrprtf inside a RPG service program

Hi, Nick:

What version and release of OS/400 or i5/OS is this?

Issue WRKOBJ OBJ(*ALL/OVRPRTF) OBJTYPE( *CMD) to see if there are any copies of the OVRPRTF command floating around ...

Issue WRKREGINF and look to see if there are any exits for the OVRPRTF command registered, under QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND and QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND exit points. They could have been written by someone who no longer works there, or inserted by some vendor product, etc. -- and they might be causing this problem (perhaps inadvertently).

Let us know what you find and then perhaps we can offer more assistance.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

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
