RE: Break up spool file based on information within (I now know what I am doing!)

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, thanks for the suggestions all. I think I have finally figured
something out, using a combination of what everyone told me, plus a bit of
my own ingenuity.

Here is what I think I will do:
I can copy the spool file into a physical file. Then in a program read
though the file looking for the text "Page" (which should always be in the
same spot) and grab the page number. From there, I read two lines, which is
the number of lines after the line with the word "Page" where the text
"Intercompany to" is, and save the company #. If it is there use that page
number + 1 (because of a banner page) and save it. Then continue going
through until I find that the company # changes. At that point, I will know
the beginning and ending pages of that companies section. Take that and
submit it to spool tool to create a PDF of that section. Then continue on
from there.

That way I won't loose the formatting of the original, because I am using
the original to create my PDF files. We won't be using this for more
reports, so creating it for just this one won't be a problem.

Thanks again for all the suggestions...

Mike
