Assuming you're correct and that the program creates a spool file...

Sounds like it's being sent to a printer automatically. By default, once a spool file is printed it gets deleted from the system.

Try doing the following before running your program:

OVRPRTF FILE(MYPRTF) HOLD(*YES)

You'll need to use the name of the printer file used by your program in place of MYPRTF. The HOLD(*YES) will prevent the spool file generated from the printer file from being sent to the assigned printer.
