OV/400 to PF

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We have an application which basically used OV/400 as an early version of
variable length fields for entering comments.  There would be a field in
the main PF which would contain the document name in OV/400.  To print the
main doc was a masterpiece of merging.  Now I have just under 2,000
documents I need to convert into data into a PF.  I've looked at CPYFRMPCD
and CPYFRMIMPF and I am meeting with abysmal failure.

Then I tried PRTDOC into an output file.  This looks nothing like the
printout.  You get scads of stuff where I have no idea where it came from.

My next technique will be to PRTDOC into a spool file.  Copy the spool file
to a disk file.  Take the disk file and append that onto another DB2 file
and construct a key back to the original file.  Now if I can only get that
dang cheshire cat to stop disappearing and reappearing...

Any better suggestions?
