Hi
I think that I am STILL missing something
I went through and used WCST parameter, using ALL of them
I didn’t see ANY differences between ANY of them
So – I was thinking that it might have been because I was replacing an existing ifs file, so I changed it so that each of my runs created a new ifs file, and THAT was the file I sent to myself
They STILL looked all the same
The print character moved over to the left
Anyone any ideas?

Thanks Bryan
Believe it or not – Marco mention the translate tables – but for V7r2, so I was JUST wondering if there was anything different for V7r3
Appreciated

Thanks Marco
I didn't think that I would need to do that
Just specify *PDF
Let me give it a shot
I just suppose that it will be trial and error
MUCH appreciated

Hi Alan another option is doing some tests using one of the transform
objects in qsys (V7R2):
QCTXPDF
QCTXPDFMBD
QCTXPDFMB2
QCTXPDFWT
QCTXPDFWT2
QCTXPDF2
Eg:
CPYSPLF FILE(MYSPOOL)
TOFILE(*TOSTMF)
TOSTMF('/tmp/testpdf.pdf')
WSCST(*LIBL/QCTXPDF2)
STMFOPT(*REPLACE)

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
I have been asked to look into creating and e-mailing our invoices as
pdf's from the AS/400
I already knew about the changes to CPYSPLF, so I thought that I would
look into that
The command I used was
CPYSPLF FILE(INVOICE) TOFILE(*TOSTMF) JOB(192813/CREDSALE36/JKEITTB)
TOSTMF('/ashore/invoice.pdf') WSCST(*PDF) STMFOPT(*REPLACE)
The INVOICE spool file has an overlay
I then used this command to e-mail it to myself
SNDSMTPEMM RCP(('ashore@xxxxxxxx<mailto:ashore@xxxxxxxx>')) SUBJECT('Sending a pdf file')
ATTACH(('/ashore/invoice.pdf'))
When I received the e-mail, the overlay was there, but the characters
(print) were not where it should be - in the boxes
The characters were "pushed" to the left
I googled CPYSPLF and came across this web page
https://www.rpgpgm.com/2014/03/creating-pdf-files-from-spool-files.html
and I checked the ptf's mentioned
Both of the ptf's mentioned there are on our system
5770TS1 *COMPATIBLE IBM Transform Services for i
5770TS1 *COMPATIBLE Transforms - AFP to PDF Transform
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I did wrong or is missing?
As always, all answers gratefully accepted
