RE: Problems with spool files

James,

You could use:

OVRPRTF FILE(*PRTF) HOLD(*YES) OVRSCOPE(*JOB)

Before running your RPG program to prevent the spool file from being printed.

Delete the override if you have more processing in that same job.

...

Do I need to change all this from printing to QPRINT, to printing to a 
print file that's guaranteed to never be connected to a real printer? 
And if so, how? (Around here, we only have one physical printer 
connected to an AS/400, and if we want something printed, we have to 
explicitly send it there from WRKSPLF, so I'm not exactly "up" on how to 
keep spool files from being printed.)
