RE: Fix a spool file

["David Dunfield" <ddunfie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do an override to the spool file you wish to write to (the example uses
qsysprt) and perform a cpyf to it from the modified data file.

OVRPRTF QSYSPRT CTLCHaR(*FCFC)

CPYF FROMFILE(FIXED) TOFILE(QSYSPRT)

Subject: Fix a spool file


Hi group,

I need to fix a spool file that can not be recreated again. I'm planning to
copy the spool file to a data base file (with *FCFC parm), then fix the
wrong data with a rpg program. The problem is: how can I convert back the
data file into a spool file? Is there a better (and faster) method than
reading the data file with a rpg, interpreting the space / skip control
character and writing out each record to a printer file? Even better, is
there a command opposite to CPYSPLF?

Thanks!
