Accessing Spool File from AS/400 and then storing it in a TXT format file.

[pratimchaudhuri@xxxxxxxxxx]

   Dear All,

   I had been trying to work out a code= which will help me extract the spool
   file from a AS/400 and send it to use= rs as an attachement.

   The problem is that I'm not getting = the write input bytes to store in
   human readable format.

   I know I am surely going in wrong di= rection but not able to locate the
   mistake. I am pasting the method code fo= r judging it.

   public String readFile(= String _AS400, String _UserName, String
   _Password, String _SpoolFileName, S= tring _SpoolFileNumber,
         &n= bsp;                     = String _SpoolFileJobName, String
   _SpoolFileUserName, String _SpoolFileJobNu= mber )
         &n= bsp;                     = throws AS400SecurityException,
   AS400Exception,IOException, ErrorCompletingR= equestException,
         &n= bsp;                     =              InterruptedException,
   Reque= stNotSupportedException  {
         &n= bsp;
         &n= bsp; String strConvertedFile="";
         &n= bsp; try{
         &n= bsp;     AS400 objAS400 = new
   AS400(_AS400,_UserName,_Password)= ;
         &n= bsp;     SpooledFile objSpoolFile = new SpooledFile(objAS400,
   &= nbsp;_SpoolFileName,
         &n= bsp;                     =                     &nbsp= ;
             Integer.pa= rseInt(_SpoolFileNumber),  _SpoolFileJobName ,
         &n= bsp;                     =                     &nbsp= ;
          _SpoolFileUserName= ,  _SpoolFileJobNumber );

         &n= bsp;     System.out.println("Got Spool File Object");</= font>
         &n= bsp;     System.out.println("The CCSID : "+ objAS400.ge   
tCcsid()+ "   " + objAS400.getUserId());
         &n= bsp;     System.out.println(">>>Object : "+obj   
SpoolFile.toString());
         &n= bsp;
         &n= bsp;     java.io.InputStream objInputStream =
   objSpoolFile.getI= nputStream();
         &n= bsp;
         &n= bsp;     int intInputStreamSize = objInputStream.available();
   &= nbsp;
         &n= bsp;     byte[] objSpoolByte = new
   byte[intInputStreamSize];</f= ont>
         &n= bsp;     System.out.println("The Spool byte size : "+ i   
ntInputStreamSize);
         &n= bsp;     objInputStream.read(objSpoolByte);
         &n= bsp;
         &n= bsp;     System.out.println("THE CONTENT >>>>&qu= ot;);
         &n= bsp;     for(int i = 0; i < intInputStreamSize; i++){
         &n= bsp;         System.out.print(""+objSpoolByte[i]);</fon= t>
         &n= bsp;     }
         &n= bsp;     System.out.println("<<<<<<<&lt= ;<<<<<<<<<THE
   CONTENT");

         &n= bsp;     System.out.write(objSpoolByte);         </font= >

         &n= bsp;     AS400Text textConverter = new
   AS400Text(intInputStream= Size,objAS400);
         &n= bsp;     strConvertedFile = ((String) textConverter.toObject   
(objSpoolByte));
         &n= bsp;     objInputStream.close();
         &n= bsp;     objAS400.disconnectAllServices();       &= nbsp;
         &n= bsp; }catch(Exception ex){
         &n= bsp;     System.err.println("Exception from ReadFile : &quot

         &n= bsp; }
         &n= bsp; return st= rConvertedFile;        }
