Scott and Chuck,
I appreciate your interesting replies. Remeber, this is all curiosity since it works, apparently as designed by a previous person.
After looking some more, there are no overrides in either the CL that calls the RPG nor in the RPG itself. Thanks for that, have never used nor seen that either, unless memory is failing an dit could be.

I just would never have thought to call an external print file a disk file in the RPG.
Really just asking if I have missed something like this before.
One more story to add to my inventory. :>)

Thanks

Hi Dave,

You can use an override to go from almost any type of file to almost any
other type of file. For example, I frequently do the opposite of what
you describe, where the program's output is PRINTER, and I want a DISK
file, so I'll use OVRDBF to override to a disk file. (Usually because I
want to read the "report" into a computer program and do something to it.)

So... you can override one type of file into another. Is that what
you're asking?

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.
