Re: ovrprtf inside a RPG service program

Hi All Thanks for your help I got it to work finaly.

I remove the ovrscope and opnscope.
The activation group was set to the default activation group. I changed
this to a named AG.
The ovrprtf and open were happening in different procedures in the same
service program.

Thanks for the help.

hi Nick,

It sounds like your OVRPRTF and your OPEN are in the same module. Are
they also in the same procedure?

You only need to muck with OVRSCOPE if your override needs to cross
call-stack or activation group boundaries. If it's occurring in the
same routine of the same module, there are no call stack issues. If
it's occuring in the same program/srvpgm, then there also can't be
activation group boundaries.

Not sure why you'd get the "Keyword OPNSCOPE is not valid" -- but it's
really hard to troubleshoot a mistake you made in your code without
seeing your code...

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
