RE: Spool File Control codes

[Colin Williams <colin.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you do a CPYSPLF to a database file with RCDLEN of 133 with
CTLCHAR(*FCFC), the first char. is the ANSI control char. as follows:

ANSI First-Character Forms-Control Codes
 
    Code   Action before Printing a Line
    ' '    Space one line (blank code)
    0      Space two lines
    -      Space three lines
    +      Suppress space
    1      Skip to next channel 1 (Basically skips to a new page)


there are also these but are only needed if you define them I think:

    2      Skip to next channel 2
    3      Skip to next channel 3
    4      Skip to next channel 4
    5      Skip to next channel 5
    6      Skip to next channel 6
    7      Skip to next channel 7
    8      Skip to next channel 8
    9      Skip to next channel 9
    A      Skip to next channel 10
    B      Skip to next channel 11
    C      Skip to next channel 12

A full description is in the CL Reference manual

Thanks you for your input. But since I am writing some
new custom software that will integrate into our
existing product line I kinda need to find the
control/Markup codes for spooled files. If a listing
does not exist I will eventually root them out through
trial and logical deduction it just would be much
simpler if ibm published a listing/redbook/whitebook
etc for this.

                I need to convert a spoolfile to something legible
on
                a client side pc or browser. I know there are some
                products out there that do this but I am unable to
use
                them in the way that I need. I hav had some luck
                figuring out the control codes on my own but there
are
                still many that I am not aware of yet. Can some of
you
                offer some suggestions or tell me how I can find a
                reference for this. Thanks
