OVRPRTF Question Published by: Viking on 19 Sep 2011 view comments(5)

Hi all,

Something simple I need a little refresher/clarification on: 

PGM                                                      
                                                         
OVRPRTF    FILE(QSYSPRT) HOLD(*YES) OVRSCOPE(*JOB)       
RUNSQLSTM  SRCFILE(QSQLSRC) SRCMBR(DLTREQS) COMMIT(*NONE)
DLTOVR     FILE(QSYSPRT)                                 
                                                         
ENDPGM

When this runs, the override is successful, but the DLTOVR gives me CPF9841 "Override not found at specified level". Why is that and what is the correct way to create and delete this printer file override?

Thanks.

Have you tried specifying LVL(*JOB) on the DLTOVR command?

Does anyone else get a dialog box popping up when they view this particular topic that says:

Yup, I got the syntax highlighter error too.

And you are correct on the DLTOVR, in that you need to specify the override level.  The rule being that your override scope must match between application and removal.

Ever since I posted this topic, I'm getting that syntax highligher message popping up too...

 

And yes, of course I forgot that when i don't specify on the dltovr, the default is actgrp which doesn't match the level of the ovrprtf... thanks.

The syntax highlighter msg is my fault. I deleted it when I updated the site. I can't fix it until I return next week. Don't worry about it for now.
