How to retrieve PRTF source

[Vinoth]

Hi,

I have a printer file object(which is generated thru an rpg program) - However the source for this object is not available.

Is there any way to retrieve the source for this PRTF object.

I need to figure out what values are written to this printer file.

vino,

Re: How to retrieve PRTF source

you say it's generated thru an RPG program? does that mean it's actually an internally described O specs or is it an external printer file that is simply used by RPG to produce output? if it's internally described and the program is RPGLE with DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) (or *LIST,etc.) then just putting the program in debug will show you the actual source code for the program. also by "what values are written to this printer file" what exactly are you asking for? variable names, constants, what???

You can do a dspffd against the print file to determine the fields which are output assuming it is a "true" externally defined print file and not a generic copy of qsysprt etc.
