Hello Michael,

If it's a short term thing, google might be your friend:

"text to pdf converter"

Copying to a PF, injecting some print control or FCFC characters and doing CPYF to print could create them as spool files pretty easily with a little RPG magic.

If you need something more permanent our services team might be able to help as well and then our spool file converters.

Email me a text file andI can take a look as well.

Regards,

subject: TXT to PDF

I have several TXT files in an IFS directory that I need to convert to PDF.

The original source for the TXT file data are "old" spool files that no longer exist on the system.

The TXT files do not contain the printer control characters.

This is not a one time event, the conversion will have occur "real time" on this files until I have developed a method to replace the TXT file with a PDF file in our application programs.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Michael Smith
