Applying OVRPRTF with *PRTF: scenario
You can apply the OVRPRTF command to all printer files by specifying *PRTF as
the file name.
The OVRPRTF command with *PRTF is applied if there is no other override for the
printer file name at the same call level. The following example shows how *PRTF
works:
Override 1 OVRPRTF FILE(OUTPUT) COPIES(6) +
LPI(6)
Override 2 OVRPRTF FILE(*PRTF) COPIES(1) +
LPI(8)
CALL PGM(X)
When program X opens the file OUTPUT, the opened file has the following
attributes:
COPIES(6)
From Override 1
LPI(6) From Override 1
When program X opens the file PRTOUT (or any printer file other than OUTPUT),
the opened file has the following attributes:
COPIES(1)
From Override 2
LPI(8) From Override 2
Applying OVRPRTF with *PRTF from multiple call levels:
scenario
The following example shows how printer-file overrides are applied from multiple
call levels by using the *PRTF value.
Program A
Override 1 OVRPRTF FILE(*PRTF) COPIES(1)
Override 2 OVRPRTF FILE(PRT2) COPIES(2)
Override 3 OVRPRTF FILE(PRT4) COPIES(2)
CALL PGM(B)
Program B
Override 4 OVRPRTF FILE(*PRTF) LPI(4)
Override 5 OVRPRTF FILE(PRT3) LPI(8)
Override 6 OVRPRTF FILE(PRT4) LPI(8)
CALL PGM(X)
When program X opens the file PRT1, the opened file has the following attributes:
COPIES(1)
From Override 1
LPI(4) From Override 4
Because no specific overrides are found for PRT1, *PRTF overrides (1 and 4) are
applied.
When program X opens the file PRT2, the opened file has the following attributes:
