Yes.

Among the various IT things I do is work with spool files in conjunction
with electronics form processing. I often use the copy spool file command to
"save" the original spool file I want to work with. (Often customers have
automatic output queue cleanup processes which clear the source documents).
When I need to get the spool file back I do the override to spool file
command specifying "*FCFC". All line spacing and page breaks are restored.

Gregory,

Honestly, one of our operations folks experimented with this and she
"claims" she did but I am wondering now if she did all that you mention. I
guess I am going to have to check into this myself to see for sure.

So, you are saying that using the method you describe, it is possible to end

up with a single spool file containing multiple reports where all of the
control characters are preserved so that if printed or displayed the reports

appear just as they did as individual spool files?
