Subject: [COBOL400-L] Control characters in spoolfiles


Once upon a time, there was an operator, who copied a spoolfile to a
physical file, using, CPYSPLF.  Then the original spoolfile was deleted
and gone forever, he thought.

But, is there a way to reconstruct the spoolfile, given the PF the
spoolfile was copied into?.  I've been thinking of creating a small pgm,
that reads the PF, and writes to a PRTF.  I can see the control characters
from the spoolfile.  They  are "1"(new page), "-"(I don't know), "0"(I
don't know) and " "(blank- I don't know).

Where can I find the meaning of these control characters, or even better -
is there a way to "reconvert" the PF back to the original PRTF?
