Tim,

To copy spool data use CPYSPLF with CTLCHAR(*FCFC). This saves page and
line feed information in the physical file. It uses one extra byte
(position 1), so make the physical file length at least one byte longer
than the printer record length. To copy the data back to an output
queue, first OVRPRTF QSYSPRT CTLCHAR(*FCFC) and then CPYF
FROMFILE(myspoolpf) TOFILE(QSYSPRT)
