Re: Using Softlanding Plugin for Spooled Files

["Dave Shaw" <daveshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

*IPDS files can contain graphics that can't be displayed by a text-only 
tool.  WRKSPLF strips out what it can't display and shows the rest.  The 
mechanisms used in RSE aren't smart enough to do that - they just throw up 
their hands and refuse to display anything.  The WRKSPLF display can be 
misleading for some spool files, so there is a little justification for not 
showing something that's wrong.  It's inconvenient most of the time, though.
