     yes this is quite straightforward.
Copy the spool into a physical file specifying  CTLCHAR(*FCFC) on the CPYSPLF
command

The first character in each record can be used to count lines and identify new
pages.
something like the following:
0 Ðskip 1 line
1 Ðnew page
2 Ðskip 2 lines

You can then cheack at the start of each new page for your split paramenter
and do it taht way.
