Printing Qshell Output, Part 2


Hey, Ted:

It's not necessary to wait for OS/400 V5R2 to directly route STDOUT output to QSYSPRT, as you implied in "Printing Qshell Output."

I use the Override with Database File (OVRDBF) command to override file STDOUT to a printer file. This works for me on V5R1.

The following examples route STDOUT to QSYSPRT.

The first example generates a listing of MQSeries object permissions for a specified MQ Manager. 

OVRDBF FILE(STDOUT) TOFILE(QSYSPRT)
QSH CMD('/qsys.lib/qmqm.lib/amqoamd.pgm -mMy_Qmgr -s')
DLTOVR STDOUT

The second example uses the zLib shareware version for AS/400 to unzip a file. 

OVRDBF FILE(STDOUT) TOFILE(QSYSPRT)
CALL       ZLIB/MINIUNZ PARM('-o' 'my_file.zip')
DLTOVR STDOUT

Thanks for the tip, Michael. The Override with Printer File (OVRPRTF) command works, too.
