Re: Spool file to PDF CCSID conversion (Polish-870)

[Roberto De Pedrini <roberto.faq400@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much Gad ...
I just asked to my BP about the cost of this product 5733-B45... it's for
one of my customers and I can't find it in the IBM ESS website... I'll let
you know if I'll get my PDF!
Thanks

Roberto
