QUESTION POSED ON: 08 January 2009
Would I insert OVRPRFT before or after my save command example below? 

OVRPRTF    FILE(QSYSPRT) MAXRCDS(*NOMAX)

LIBSAVE:    SAVLIB     LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(TAP01) ENDOPT(*LEAVE) +

                     SAVACT(*SYNCLIB) SAVACTMSGQ(QSYS/QSYSOPR) +

                     ACCPTH(*YES) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
The save generates a huge number of spool and the job hangs until *NOMAX can be responded to in QSYSOPR.

>
When OUTPUT(*PRINT) is specified for a SAVLIB command on my V5R4 system, the print file used is QPSAVOBJ, not QSYSPRT. Overriding QPSAVOBJ should eliminate the message that has been hanging up your SAVLIB job.

As an alternative, you might want to try using the OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) value which will place all the SAVLIB information into a database file. It could make checking the SAVE information much easier.
