I have an associate who is attempting to use the IBM PSF product to send spool files as pdf documents via email.
They are attempting to use a PDFMAP program to get the email address from the USRDTA in the spool file attributes.
Instead of the program being called to process the data, it seems to be attempting to go directly to a printer.
The following is the configuration and program source:

ORDEMAIL *DEVD QSYS PRTLAN SEND ORDERS TO VENDORS
