GETSLPF / PUTSPLF

[Tim Truax <truax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all!
Has anyone that received these cool CMDS (GETSPLF & PUTSPLF) from the
guy on the list had the following message when trying to copy a spooled
file to a physical file?

My files length is 500 bytes.  No data whatsoever was copied. The file
member was empty but I was copying a 25 page spool file.

   TIMLIB.   Data was copied starting with the first column in the
record.      
   Data at the end of some records was not
copied.                              
     The data that was not copied is in lines
.                                 
     A plus (+) character indicates that the system has not listed all
the      
   lines where data was
lost.                                                   
     A minus (-) indicates the system could not determine on which lines
data   
   was
lost.                                                                    
 Recovery  . . . :   Copy the spooled file to a data base file with
longer

Any help/suggestions appreciated.
