Title: RE: Transferring Spool Files from AS400

You have already heard the masses endorsing the Adobe Acrobat PDF as a viable solution.  Another utility I did not see mentioned in the replies was the CVTSPLSTMF as was published by News400 in November 2000.  Works great for converting spool files to PDF or HTML!

Subject:        Transferring Spool Files from AS400

I have a 156 byte spooled output that I want to move to a PC for emailing.
I've used a couple of options and both work but I can't print the report
once it's moved.

The Operations Navigator allows me to drag the spooled file to my PC and it
becomes a .TXT file.  It keeps it's format but when I try to print it, it
chops of the report and word wraps.

The other method was I used the CPYSPLF command and copied the spool file
to a 156 byte length data file and then use Client Access to copy to the
PC.
Basically, from here, the same results are gotten when attempting to print.

Is there a better way to do this with the tools I have.

What I'm really wanting to do is to get the spooled report to a format that
can be emailed and printed via our Lotus Notes Mail system residing on the
AS400.
I don't know alot about Domino but I'm sure there's an easier way to do
what I'm trying to do.
