Geir:

Just be sure some of the earlier responses are clear:

 ==> ovrprtf QPRINT  ctlchar(*FCFC)
 ==> cpyf    fromfile(mylib/splfilepf) tofile(QPRINT)

That's about all there is to it.

There are much more detailed ways if you need a lot more control. But once 
you've got the spooled file data in a physical file and it includes form 
control characters, you can just copy it back out to an appropriate printer 
file.
