I've tried to CPYSPLF a spooled file containing AFP data and can't get it
to work; the 400 tells me:

Message ID . . . . . . :   CPF3429       Severity . . . . . . . :   30        
Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic                                         
Date sent  . . . . . . :   09/16/97      Time sent  . . . . . . :   11:03:06  
                                                                              
Message . . . . :   File FONTFM number 2 cannot be displayed, copied, or sent.
Cause . . . . . :   File FONTFM number 2 job 114004/BUCK/QPADEV0016 cannot be 
  displayed, copied, or sent.  Reason code is 4.  If the member option        
  (MBROPT) parameter is specified as *REPLACE on the Copy Spooled File        
  (CPYSPLF) command, the TOFILE was cleared.                                  
    1 - The file has no records.                                              
    2 - The file contains only blank records, graphics, bar codes, or         
  intelligent printer data stream (IPDS) transparent data.                    
    3 - The file contains only ASCII data intended for a personal computer    
  printer.                                                                    
    4 - The file contains only advanced function printing data stream (AFPDS) 
  data.  If the file was being sent, the data format (DTAFMT) parameter is    
  specified as *RCDDATA.                                                 
    5 - The file has a page definition specified.                        
Recovery  . . . :   If the data format (DTAFMT) parameter is specified as
  *RCDDATA on the Send Network Spooled File (SNDNETSPLF) command, try    
  specifying *ALLDATA as the value for the DTAFMT parameter.             

Bummer.

If anybody knows a way round this (aside from going to lib QSPL and digging
out the data myself!)  I'd love to hear it!
