Re: creating a pdf in RPG

OVRPRTF is the easiest and quickest way to do it. Below is an example of one of our CL programs doing it. The nice part of using this (as opposed to CPYSPLF) is that the system deals with the handling of the spool file as it’s converted to a .pdf.

Another nice part is that many of our reports are then overplayed with a fancy-looking company form and letterhead that we create in Microsoft Word and the system efficiently places them both together with zero effort.

Hope this helps.



OVRPRTF FILE(OMR003) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) PAGESIZE(66 +
132) LPI(6) CPI(15) OVRFLW(58) PAGRTT(0) +
FRONTOVL(&OVERLAY) TOSTMF(&IFS) +
WSCST(*PDF) SHARE(*YES)
