Re: Multiple programs printing to 1 spool file.

I did this years ago.

In a CL program, before calling the first RPG:

OVRPRTF FILE(PRINTER) SHARE(*YES)

then don't delete that override until all the RPG programs are complete.
And they do have to have the same print file name in each program.

Jim,
I *think* you can, using the Share(*YES) on OVRPRTF.
You would need to ensure that each program in the stack did not close the
print file before calling the next one down, and all programs would need to
use the same print file name.
