RE: CPFA0DB when using CPYTOSTMF

Rob,

Not sure what you mean "there is no way that will make a
"real" pdf file".

My example of CPYTOSTMF does create a real pdf file
(of course there is additional code that writes the pdf data
into the file XFWPDF). I did not include the complete CL
program code only cut and paste the CPYTOSTMF from my
joblog.

My cl program works on many different machines creating real
pdf files.

However, the problem I am encountering is only occuring on
the machine in Japan.

I searched IBM site and googled and yahooed CPFA0DB without
finding any useful information on possible causes.

I could add - I am able to use Windows Explorer to find
files in my library by drilling down through directory
QSYS.LIB

On a tangent, there is NO way that will make a "real" pdf
file.

Hopefully what you sent was an exact copy/paste. The only
hits I found at
IBM's site had to do with their internal use of the command
and forgetting
the leading slash in front of qsys.lib.
