Description:
The Print Document (PRTDOC) command permits the user to print a document using the word processing function of OfficeVision.
This command also permits the user to override all print option values that are currently stored with a document. When a document is created, a set of default print options is associated with that document. If the user wants to override one or more of the parameters in this print command, the user must select OPTIONS(*YES) so that the print options appear on the display. When the print options appear, any of the print parameters can be changed. The user can override one or all of the print option parameters with this command.
Restriction: To use this command, you must be signed on as QPGMR, QSYSOPR, QSRV, or QSRVBAS, or have *ALLOBJ authority.
