Re: email a spool file (devtyp(*AFPDS))

i know you are looking to do this with your own code. Unless
you have the Info Print Server (IBM Product-not free) I'm not
aware you can do this with *afpds.
I use Gumbo Software's Spool Tools to do this (converting
to .pdf - 100's documents a day) - there are several other tools.
You will have to pick to format to go to, because *afpds means
nothing to a web browser or email client.
