Re: Printing to a disk file?

Thanks for the answer. It already works, Scott, I still don't know how.

I would have expected it needed to be called "printer" on the F spec.

Just surprised me.

Thanks again,

Dave B

You could simply use OVRPRTF to redirect the disk file to a printer
file... the disadvantage being that your program can't control stuff
like overflow, jumping to a particular line in the document, etc.

Hello all,

Has anyone ever seen a printer file designated as a disk file in a RPGLE program?

The F spec looks like this:

ferrctrec o e disk

I spent some time searching for the file be fore I discoverred that it was a printer file.

And it still amazes me that it is used as a print file and labelled disk in the f spec.

Anyone else seen this?

Just curiosity at this point.

Thanks,

Dave B
