Thanks for the reply! Since my original post, I have continued extensively researching and opened an ETR (still open) on the issue. Answer looks like it will be "WAD".
Your guess was correct. The filename can be overidden in the printer definition, but only with a static value. Ability to use %sysout-job-name would be excellent for my purpose. But that won't be happening, so I will attack the problem through the printer backend script on the AIX remote server. As to coding an exit for this, if I had the time I would do it just for the experience. But alas, I don't. Plus our site generally frowns on custom exits. Once this current project is completed, I may well pursue the requirement. The ability to dynamically override control file records would be very useful occasionally.
