  Query/400 enables a /line wrap/ feature if\when requested for 
spooled\printed reports.  The option is available only in the 
*QRYDFN, not from RUNQRY [e.g. as for some of the other print\spool 
report writer options].

  Query/400 does not prevent binary data from going directly to the 
spool\printer [nor display where it will reactively rewrite the 
display if\when bad data is diagnosed by the workstation controller 
at the device].  The design assumption was that any binary data 
spooled would be accidental, and the default RPLUNPRT(*YES x'40') 
was chosen to handle such cases.  The QMQRY feature may /translate/ 
binary data [possibly as a feature of the UIM] before writing to the 
printer file, so the replace unprintable would then be redundant; 
presumably why its printer file uses RPLUNPRT(*NO).
