Re: spool file viewer in iSeries Navigator

Try changing your default font in Notepad..I had the same problem and I think 
that's what I did to correct..Since you're viewing it as a .txt file, I think 
Notepad takes precedence

  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

  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.
