Re: Newbie Question

I can't even remember parameters from one line to another. Correcting
PRTCTL to CTLCHAR.


Stephen,

You're very close. Here's my version of your program:

PGM

WRKACTJOB OUTPUT(*PRINT)

DLYJOB DLY(3)

CPYSPLF FILE(QPDSPAJB) TOFILE(STEVE/PRT133) JOB(*) +
SPLNBR(*LAST) CTLCHAR(*FCFC)

ENDPGM

I added the PGM and ENDPGM statements. you'll put parameters on the PGM
line as you develop more complex programs.

I used the CRTPF command to create PRT133 with a record length of 133
bytes (132 for the report plus 1 byte for printer control characters). The

output file must exist before this program will run.

The CPYSPLF uses JOB(*) to specify the current job. This job ID will
change each time you call this with the RMTCMD command. I also specified
the CTLCHAR(*FCFC) parameter. This will add spacing commands to your input

file. Read the help about this command to see if this parameter works best

for you.
