RE: Spool file pages over 99,999

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Theresa,

It's not a spooling limitation, it's only a limitation of the automatic page
numbering support in RPG (program-described print files) or DDS
(externally-described print files).  IBM ought to fix that for us, but in
the meantime handling it programmatically is the workaround available to us.
