Both the Create RPG/400 Program (CRTRPGPGM) and the Create COBOL Program (CRTCBLPGM) commands have a PRTFILE parameter. This parameter allows you to specify the name of the printer file you want the compiler to use when it creates the compile listing. The default print file is QSYSPRT. If you want your compile listings to have different attributes (e.g., page size, lines per inch) from those that are defined in QSYSPRT, here's a technique you can use.
Use the Create Duplicate Object (CRTDUPOBJ) command to make copies of the QSYSPRT printer file. Call the new printer files RPGSRCPRTF and CBLSRCPRTF. Then change the attributes of the new printer files to whatever you prefer by using the Change Printer File (CHGPRTF) command. For example, I used the following command for my RPG compiler listings:
CHGPRTF FILE(RPGSRCPRTF) + PAGESIZE(88 132) LPI(8) + CPI(15) OVRFLW(83) HOLD(*YES)
Once you have the attributes you want for your compiler list, you can use the Change Command Default (CHGCMDDFT) command to make the CRTRPGPGM and CRTCBLPGM commands default to your new printer files.
