Is there a (hopefully > easy) way to do this? Are you asking about placing a specific spoolfile into a PF? or _any_ spoolfile into a PF? And exactly how close would you want _any_ spoolfile to appear? E.g., if an element is bolded in the spoolfile, would it be bolded in the PF? Underlined, etc? If the page length was 88 lines and there were only 10 printed lines on the page, would you want 78 blank records? Are you familiar with using CPYSPLF with the *FCFC option? In general, once you've got the spoolfile into an intermediate PF with *FCFC, you can read that PF and place the records into your final PF with blank lines inserted according to the supplied control characters with a pretty simple RPG. Bold, underline, etc., wouldn't be so easy though _possible_ if you could guarantee viewing via 5250 I suppose. What's the objective for this? Viewing instead of printing? archiving? transfer to other systems?
