Re: Automate spool download using ACS

[dr2@xxxxxxxx]

Jim, 

Presuming a 132 length SCS splf: 

I use something like:

CRTPF FILE(DRTEMP/SPLF1) RCDLEN(133) 

CPYSPLF    FILE(PRINTERF) TOFILE(drtemp/splf1)   SPLNBR(*LAST)
JOBSYSNAME(*CURRENT)    MBROPT(*ADD) CTLCHAR(*FCFC)

OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) CTLCHAR(*FCFC) OUTQ(DR2OUTQ)
TOSTMF('/home/drima/pdf1.pdf') WSCST(*PDF)   

cpyf drtemp/splf1 qsysprt    

This gives a .pdf, but I would think that a .txt would be an option
somewhere even  if it meant writing your own quickie RPG to do the
printer spacing based on the first bytes printer control character...
