Is there a way to change QSQSVCDMP not to use QSYSPRT file

This is regarding a request we got from customer about routing of files QSQSVCDMP to outqueue QEZDEBUG,
Issue description: Is it possible to redirect QSQSVCDMP to QEZDEBUG outq, It is currently directed directly to user outq and is printed. Many files are being printed on the printers due to this.

We raised a software PMR 92139,300,624 to know if this is possible.
But got to know that in current design it is not possible.
QSQSVCDMP uses QSYS/QSYSPRT printer file. But customer is overriding this printer file in their application.

Customer wants to know if there a way to change QSQSVCDMP not to use QSYSPRT file.
Need advise on below:
We would like to know Is there a way to change QSQSVCDMP not to use QSYSPRT? As far we know this is system settings, not settings in program. Kindly suggest..


Use Case:

Is it possible to redirect QSQSVCDMP to QEZDEBUG outq, It is currently directed directly to user outq and is printed. Many files are being printed on the printers due to this. So customer wants to know if there a way to change QSQSVCDMP not to use QSYSPRT file.

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with IBM i 7.3 SI68079 and in IBM i 7.4 base release.

    With this change, overriding QSYSPRT does not affect QSQSVCDMP files.
