Re: Overflow and INOF with Externam Printer file

Booth,

Ya, we've already been over that.

FFD001P1 O E PRINTER OFLIND(*INOF) USROPN

Doesn't work. It won't let you use *INOF on the F spec of an externally
described printer file.

All I know is I have one program that has:

FFD001P1 O E PRINTER USROPN

And INOF shows up in the compile listing and it works fine as it should.

I create a program with just that F spec, turn on LR as the only c spec and
INOF doesn't show up in the compile listing.

I know it's something simple, and so obvious and I'm going to wake up in
the middle of the night screaming AHA! at one point. lol..

*INOF is a named indicator, just like *INLR or *IN99 and can be set on
and off in an RPG program, and used just like any other indicator by the
program. Even if there is no printer file.

If you want *INOF set on by overflow in an external printer file then you
want an F-spec like this:

FFD001P1 O E PRINTER OFLIND(*INOF) USROPN

I have not tested that, so be careful. I do, from time to time, make
mistakes.

Thanks Jeff.

Yes, that makes sense. But I have a few programs than have externally
described Printer files and Use *INOF. I just can't figure out how. :)

I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And
in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the
additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. --
