RE: OverRide PrintFile to DB file

[Tom Daly <Tdaly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Maybe something along these lines will help:

OVRPRTF FILE(*PRTF) CTLCHAR(*NONE)                                
CPYF FROMFILE(MYLIB/DBFILE) TOFILE(*PRINT) FROMMBR(MYMBR) 

This will create a spoolfile listing the contents of the DB file.  This
technique works best when there is no packed data in the file.  


HTH,
Tom D.

 |  Subject: OverRide PrintFile to DB file
 |  
 |  
 |  I have an externally described print file and want to send 
 |  a DB file 
 |  (basically a flat file, one field per record).  When I try 
 |  and just do
 |  an 
 |  OverRide of the Print file to DB file I get "Record format  not in
 |  member" 
 |  error.  As there are several formats in the print file and 
 |  only one in
 |  the 
 |  DB file.  Is this something that is only possible for in program
 |  described 
 |  print file?  Seems like there should be a way to tell it to ignore 
 |  different formats and just write, but I can find it.
 |  
 |  Thanks in advance!
