RE: email a spool file (devtyp(*AFPDS))

Apparently emailing printer file output with a type of AFPDS is a real
pain.  I would like to email my spool file to my email address.  I don't
care what format it's in as long as I can read it when I get it in my
email.  I don't care if it's attached, inserted, embedded, converted to
text and inserted.  I just want to be able to view the spool file in anyway
shape or form after it's sent to my email address.  Has anyone done this
before?  If so, would you care to share with me how you accomplished this
task?

I think someone posted a message saying that I could convert it to RTF
format by adding more lines of code to my printer file.  Anyone know how to
do this?

Thanks,

Frank

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

*I entered the command below on a command line.
 CPYSPLF FILE(FAXCOVER) TOFILE(FKANY/SPOOLF) JOB(200361/FKANY/QPADEV000V)

*I then received this message:
 Message ID . . . . . . :   CPA3311       Severity . . . . . . . :   99
 Message type . . . . . :   Inquiry
 Date sent  . . . . . . :   05/09/03      Time sent  . . . . . . :

 Message . . . . :   Attributes of file FAXCOVER not supported.  (G C)

*Here is part of the printer file description.
FILE         > FAXCOVER
             >   FKANY
DEVTYPE        *AFPDS
===============================================================

I followed the steps below:

>Move the spool file to a data base physical file.

>CPYSPLF   FILE(splfile)  TOFILE(dbfile)  JOB(job3/job2/job1)
>SPLNBR(splnbr) TOMBR(mbr)

>Move data base physical file to a folder.

>CPYTOPCD   FROMFILE(lib/dbfile)  TOFLR(folder) FROMMBR(mbr)
>REPLACE(*YES)

>Send the document.

>SNDDST   TYPE(*DOC)  TOUSRID(user address) DSTD(MAIL) DOC(mbr)
>FLR(folder)
