I have a SCS spoolfile with some boilerplate info. I've been asked to add a hyperlink to some external boilerplate.

We convert the spoolfile to PDF - CPYSPLF ... TOFILE(*TOSTMF) ... WSCST(*PDF) - and email it.

The PDF conversion doesn't make it a clickable link - prefixing with https:\\ didn't help.

Any thoughts? Other than reinventing the wheel to use some open source utility? It's only needed for a few months as that division is moving to a MS Cloud ERP so no $$ to be spent.

Thanks.
