     i see what you are thinking but its not specifically anything to do with
the CPYSPLF process.

Its all to do with the fact that the spool data is held differently on the as400
depending on the source.
An external printer file spool (AFAIK) holds its data at field level for each
line
wheras the copy I made (using CPYSPLF) only had 1 field per record.

They looked the same on screen but printed differently.
