Re: Pulling spool files off AS/400 - VB?

Hmmm ... I guess that is a possibility.  They spool file would be copied to
a specific library and given a unique name.  The VB app can then just
display the contents of the library and all the files should be treated as
one field length tables and I can just download like normal and have the VB
app spit it out to a text file. Then delete it from the system.
