Re: API QWPZHPTR doing all the work

[fbocch2595@xxxxxxx]

Where can I get info as to what the difference is between scs/ipds/afpds?  If 
you're using scs vs ipds vs afpds what would that mean from a technical 
standpoint and are there any tradeoffs in one vs. the other?  
thanks

Hi Guys,

The documentation for the Host Print Transform API states that the API 
can sometimes process the spooled file without the caller having to 
read and pass the spooled file data. Does anyone know under what 
conditions this will occur?

All my testing with various spooled files (SCS, FFT:DCA, IPDS, AFPDS) 
indicates the API never says it will deal with the spooled file. It 
always indicates the caller must provide the input data.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
