By using OVRPRTF for an external print file, It put something in the spool file that the writer didn't know
how to handle, so even when the program ended, all I could do was delete the entry. I'm sure there
is technical reason for it. Just dangerous enough ...
I'm speculating that to change print device ID's, I would do a CHGPRTF from the CL.
All the examples of overflow were just what I needed.
Hey Buddy,rowestu@xxxxxxxxx 7/10/2009 1:30:45 PM >>>
By "writing something weird" do you mean some text (like "Daily ASN Report")
and then a bunch of underlines? This is normally what the UNDERLINE keyword
does when you view the report online. If you print it you will see the
text, underlined. Normally these days I will wriote a line of underlines
(underscore characters), THEN the text that goes with it. This makes the
text appear online (but not the underlines). At least you get column head
text then.
The exception you get at overflow is because you did not define an
"overflow" indicator. On the F-spec for the printer file, use the OFLIND()
keyword with an indicator in the parens (I use *IN88 myself). Then, when
*IN88 comes on, that's overflow and you should write HEAD again, then clear
*IN88 (RPG will not do it for you).
read file;
dow not %eof(file);
if *IN88;
write HEAD;
clear *IN88;
endif;
print detail lines
You can't see or print your spooled file because the program still has the
file opened even though the program ended because I don't see where LR gets
set on. Of course, it's been a LONG TIME since I've used an input primary
file.

Good Day,--
I am just starting on Externally described print files and my first attempt
is not very satisfying.
The code below prints generic heading and then detail lines (if any).
The 'Write HEAD' executes but apparently is writing something weird. If I
'Write Head' enough times to trigger overflow, I get a
halt that tells me I did, but I suppose failed to handle it properly. So it
writes something.
If I have detail - the detail prints fine and when I look at the spool
entry - no output visible by 'write head'.
If I have no detail ( but 'write head' executes ) - the spool file exists
but it won't let me browse, print, or copy the entry. I assume it put out
something - trash maybe.
In Addition, If anyone could point me to a good explanation of handling
overflow, that would be nice.
Thanks
