Re: Transferring Spool Files from AS400

I'm not familiar w/Domino, but converting the spool to .pdf
should be easy to email (the .pdf is written to a dir in the ifs
of the as/400. I use a the Spoolamatic tool from www.gumbo.com . Instead
of emailing, i have a web page point to the url of the .pdf file, and the
user's browser and the free Adobe Reader display/print, keeping all the
formatting. At 156 char, that must be landscape? Your email pgm (if
automated) could attach the file on the ifs directory. There are lots of
tools for emailing reports (and quite cheap).
