hi Buddy,

Thanks all, I'm don't know why OVRPRT would do that to it, seems like
it would just overide the output queue.

If you did OVRPRTF FILE(TST117PRT) OUTQ(xxx) then it would only override the output queue.

However when you do OVRPRTF FILE(TST117PRT) TOFILE(QPRINT) it does not change the output queue, but instead tells your program to use the QPRINT printer file. That means all of the stuff you defined in the DDS for TST117PRT won't be incorporated into your output (think about it... if you're not using TST117PRT, why would you expect to get the stuff defined in it's external description?)
