RE: Copy stmf to splf?

Interesting idea! Since this is a batch process, using qsh and cat already generates a spooled file (since there is no terminal on which to display it.) Now I just have to figure out where to balance on "easy" vs "better" in the process. Thanks.

qsh
cat /mydir/myfile.txt
but piping it is another matter

Copy stmf to splf?






I've gone the other way around, but is it possible to copy a stream file to a spooled file? I tried just using CPY to do it (as CPYF to QPRINT works for db files) but that just killed my printer file. No luck on CPYFRMSTMF or CPYFRMIMPF (not that I really expected them to work, but I had to try.)

My thought at this moment is to open the stmf in an rpg program then just write records to QPRINT or other printer file.
