RE: Overflow and INOF with Externam Printer file

Is the program that is using *INOF 'manually' setting it on based on line count or something instead of it turning on 'automatically' on overflow. I would think that would make it show up in the compile listing since it is being used. Any other indicator could have been used instead as it isn't really an overflow indicator at this point.

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. :)
