How to fire 3 printer files within 1 program?

[worldsat]

Hi,
I want to fire 3 printer files from a single report program. We can add 8 printer files to a report program but when executed how would they line up in the job-queue and what effect will VO have because of these printer files?

Tom.

Tom,

Job queue has nothing to do with printer files. When the program
starts, assuming the printer files are not user controlled, all of the
spool files will open up at the same time. Each spool file will have
its own vocabulary overrides (won't even get into talking about printer
file overrides, which probably will only confuse you). You can test
what I am talking about by writing a dummy program with QSYSPRT and
QPRINT as the two printer files, with program described output specs,
then run the program and see what happens.

I have done this. The only JDE stops you is in the record format naming. When you compile the program it will give you these errors. Then rename those formats and your compiling will be through. I am not referring to QSYSPRT type files but standard JDE, say R58xxx, files with vocabulory overrides.
