RELATED IDEAS

Allow sending printed output to an existing stream file.

When over-riding a printer file to send output to a stream file, if the stream file exists message CPF4208 is sent.


Use Case:

We are using the TOSTMF and WSCST parameters of the OVRPRTF command to create documents in PDF format and emailing them. Several of these documents are created and emailed each day by multiple persons. I would like to be able to re-use the same stream files, and not have to delete them each time.

    This is a large effort, and lower priority, therefore we do not intend to make this change.

    IBM has modified some of the information in this request. Please contact us if you have any questions.

    In particular, the Headline was corrected -- "stram" was changed to "stream".
