The spooled files can optionally be converted using a workstation customizing object, which allows the spooled file to be converted to other formats. There is an extra byte for storing the First Character Form Control FCFC information, which is used to preserve the line spacing and page breaks in the spooled file. To copy the spooled file to a physical file member with the First Character Form Control FCFC information, do the following: 1 First, you will need to create a physical file with a record length 1 greater than the record length of the spooled file.

This extra byte will be used for a First Character Form Control or FCFC character which will preserve the line spacing and page breaks in the spooled file. This will take you to the Work with Spooled File Attributes screen. Look to see the value specified for the Width , then use one of the following CRTPF commands to create a physical file to store the data from the spooled files.

The source physical file should be created with a record length at least 13 columns greater than the page width to accommodate not only the First Character Form Control FCFC byte, but also the source sequence number which contains 6 bytes and the date which contains 6 bytes which exist on each line of text in the source physical file member. This can be found by typing option 8 attributes next to the spooled file and pressing the Enter key. The job qualifier, file name, and spooled file number are shown at the top of the Work with Spooled File Attributes screen.

The instructions in this section explain how to copy several spooled files to a single physical file member with First Character Form Control FCFC information. That physical file member can then be copied to a printer file to effectively combine several spooled files into single new spooled file.

The physical file is created with an extra byte for storing the First Character Form Control FCFC information, which is used to record the line spacing and page breaks in the spooled file.

Once the spooled file has been copied to the physical file member you do several different things with it, including: o Save it to media for archives or a save file o Restore it from media or a save file o Create a new spooled file o Create a new spooled file with different attributes o Create a new spooled file after modifying the database member o Create a PCFILE Typically, you will next follow the instructions in one of the following sections to copy the print data in the physical file member to a new spooled file: o Example 1: Creating a New Spooled File with Different Attributes o Example 2: Modifying the physical file member and Rewriting the Spooled File Copying a Spooled File to a Physical File Member without First Character Form Control FCFC Information The instructions in this section explain how to copy a spooled file to a physical file member without First Character Form Control FCFC information.

There is nothing to preserve the line spacing and page breaks in the spooled file. Therefore, this method should be used only when you need to copy the text of the spooled file without the line and page breaks or when there is no program available to interpret the FCFC control information for example, on a PC.

This takes you to the Work with Spooled File Attributes screen. The source physical file should be created with a record length at least 12 columns greater than the page width to accommodate the source sequence number which contains 6 bytes and the date which contains 6 bytes which exist on each line of text in the source physical file member.

This can be found by typing Option 8 attributes next to the spooled file, and pressing the Enter key. Once the spooled file has been copied to the physical file member, do all of the following: o Save it to media for archives or a save file o Restore it from media or a save file o Create a new spooled file o Create a new spooled file with different attributes o Create a new spooled file after modifying the database member o Create a PCFILE Copy the text of a Spooled File to a PC using System i Navigator Another option for copying the text of a spooled file to a PC file is to use the Copy or drag-and-drop function or the Export function in System i Navigator.

This will copy the text of the spooled file as well as the First Character Form Control FCFC information, which is used to preserve the line and page breaks in the spooled file. In the above example, the QSYSPRT system-supplied printer file is being overridden; however, no specific settings are being overridden. Without this, the OVRPRTF command may not take effect at all which would result in losing all line and page breaks in the new spooled file.

Since the intent is to copy a spooled file, modify the data in the spooled file, and then copy it back to a new spooled file, a source physical file should be created using the Create Source Physical File CRTSRCPF command.

Note: This is an example. Edit or remove the text that you want. Save the changes to the source physical file member. Both have the advantage of being able to copy the data from the spooled file without first copying it to a Shared Folder. Another alternative is to use the drag-and-drop function within the Basic Operations Printer Output or Basic Operations Printers containers within Operations Navigator.

TXT to download the file to the PC. The command to be used depends on the page width specified in the spooled file attributes. XXX to connect to the System i system. This will cause the new spooled file to print in portrait instead of landscape. However, the data would be written to the spooled file by one of the QTFTPxxxxx jobs running on the system so the resulting spooled file would be generated using the default settings in the printer file the settings could not be overridden using the OVRPRTF command.

Or, it can be made available to users through iSeries Access for Web or other application running within WebSphere. However, Infoprint Server requires a license key to use the product after an initial day grace period.

However, this method can be used as a lower function, lower cost alternative. To copy the data from a spooled file to an ASCII text file in a document in a folder and then to send that document as e-mail, do the following: 1 Determine whether to save the spooled file with or without the First Character Form Control FCFC information.

Press the F21 select assistance level key and make sure that the assistance level is set to 2 intermediate. Type option 8 attributes next to the spooled file and press the Enter key. Use the Page Down key to scroll down 4 or 5 pages until you find the entry for Page size. If the intent is to copy a spooled file without modifying any of the data in the spooled file, then a physical file should be created using the Create Physical File CRTPF command.

If the intent is to copy a spooled file, modify the data in the spooled file, and then copy it back to a new spooled file, then a source physical file should be created using the Create Source Physical File CRTSRCPF command.

Find out the job qualifier, file name, and spooled file number for this spooled file. At this point, the first spooled file will have been copied to the physical file member. Repeat Step 8 until all of the spooled files have been copied to the same physical file member. Create a physical file using the CRTPF command with a record length equal to the record length of the spooled file.

Press the F21 select assistance level key, and ensure that the assistance level is set to 2 intermediate. Type Option 8 attributes next to the spooled file, and press the Enter key.

Determine the job qualifier, file name, and spooled file number for this spooled file.

The default is to convert the spooled data to a plain text format. Blank lines are inserted so that the stream file gives the same appearance as the spooled file. This allows further use of spooled data to be handled by PC or Internet applications. An option exists to allow the spooled file to be converted to a format than can be re-converted to a spooled file on another system. The intent of the function is to allow a spooled file on a source system to be transferred to a target system as an E-mail attachment and then made into a spooled file on the target system. If the stream file exists, no authority change occurs. At each page break, a record is output that contains a value that will identify the page break.

Copy Spooled File (CPYSPLF)

This allows the use of spooled files in applications using microfiche, data communications, or data processing. When copying a spooled file to a stream file, the spooled file can optionally be converted using a workstation customizing object. When you copy a spooled file to a physical file or you copy it to a stream file without conversion, certain information is lost or changed. For example:. When you copy a spooled file to a stream file with conversion, the information retained and the format of the output is dependent on the workstation customizing obejct specified. Specifies whether the spooled file's records will be copied to a user-defined physical database file or a stream file. If the user specifies the name of a database file and the file does not exist at the time of the copy, the copy will fail.

I have times when a user will request that a report be emailed to them, rather than printed and sent to them via the inter company mail. The easiest way would be to create a PDF file from the spool file and then email it to the requestor. There are many third party tools that allow you to be able to convert a spool file to PDF, but how can I do it just using native IBM i features? The method I am going to describe can only be used IBM i servers with either version 6. Before you can do what I will describe in this post you need to check if you have the necessary licensed program, Transform Services, installed on your IBM i. I rely on viewing the list of licensed programs to see if it is there. The licensed program code if different depending upon which release your server is running:.
