You can perform an FTP to QSYSPRT. (yep - it really works!) Scott Lindstrom Hi Tom, Yes, I'm looking for the equivalent of CPYF filea QSYSPRT copying a physical file to a printer file to create a spool file.

(I'm assuming PRINTER.FILE is a PRTF kind of file.) Naturally, the PRTF exists; and hence, the CPY fails as it always will when TOOBJ() exists: > This fails with CPFA0A0 "Object already exists". I'm not sure if any 'standard' command will be useful for this; I'd like to know if any work. I'd start with QShell utilities for quick stuff, likely with pr. Then I'd create my own procedure in order not to require QShell. Note that a streamfile can be CPY'd directly to a new *usrspc object, i.e., with extension .USRSPC, if the *usrspc doesn't exist. Unfortunately, due to the way audit bits are handled, you'll probably need *AUDIT special authority. (The reverse doesn't seem to be true.) This might be useful for an intermediate solution if you don't have immediate time for a true solution.
