Rob,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm using V5R3.

I tried picking a wide paper size. That helps a little because a smaller font 
is used, however the overprinting and misalignment problems still exist. Things 
that would have been lined up on a green screen or printed page are not ligned 
up when displayed by the viewer.

I discovered that if I right click on the report, I can drag it around with the 
mouse and see the parts of the page that were previously off the screen.

I am aware about dragging things to the desktop and viewing them in a text 
viewer. It would just be much more convenient not to have to do this.

I do not have the PDF option, so that must come with some other software 
component.

Kind of hard to accept that this viewer can't even handle displaying a joblog 
as well as a 5250 screen or a text file in notepad.

Thanks,
-Marty

subject: Re: spool file viewer in iSeries Navigator

What version of iSeries Navigator?  V5R3 has gotten better at this.  They 
added an Autosize function.  SeeView, Paper Size and pick a size that 
matches a joblog.  Previously IBM picked some obscure thing by default 
that was unusable.

Another option is to drag the spool file to your desktop or a folder under 
Explorer and view that text file.

Another option is to right click on the spool file and select "Convert to 
PDF".  Now, I don't know if everyone gets that option, or just those with 
Infoprint Server installed.  You get a few options.  Like it will email 
it, save it in the IFS or stick it back on an output queue.
