Re: File PC to a AS/400 spool file????

That's a trick someone just showed me on this list yesterday.  If you copy any 
file to
a printer file, the file does not get overwritten, but intead the file you are 
copying gets
printed out using the print file's specs!

So, what is actually happening is, when you FTP the file to QSYSPRT (system 
printer
file) the file gets printed and becomes a spool file.
