Just to be clear, this is the CPYSPLF command that I have used successfully to convert a spoolfile into an IFS PDF that I have been able to email.

	CPYSPLF FILE(SPOOLFILE)                           
      	  TOFILE(*TOSTMF)                           
	        TOSTMF('/ifsdirectory/pdffilename.pdf')   
      	  WSCST(*PDF)                               

I am on 7.1 but I think this will work on 6.1.
